Thoughts on changing my title on LinkedIn? My skills, responsibilities and experience are data scientist or machine learning engineer level but my title doesn’t reflect that and doesn’t really exist outside my company. My resume has my real title but worried about what coworkers will think if they look me up

Nothing wrong with marketing yourself! You could also do Data Scientist | Internal Title

Assistant (to the) Data Scientist? 😋

If the internal title doesn't exist in the market, have at it. There's also a difference between your headline and title on there, they don't have to match. Headline can be descriptive, title is more resume-ish.

A trick for your resume if you have a common non-descriptive title is to put both the real and de facto ones. Just make clear that one is only disambiguating and not given. Parentheses work well. So if you were a generic "Consultant", you could write "Consultant (Data Scientist)" and be ok by most people.

Thanks everyone! Makes me feel better about my options

I agree with DS 1, use parenthesis or something. My first job title out of undergrad was Economist which doesn't even make sense for someone with a bachelor's degree. I put my real title and then a more descriptive on in parenthesis. You have to have the real title in case they call your company and ask about you.

For Netflix maybe have different different APIs for signing up vs scrolling through possible movies?
