What happened to titles such as programmer (or code monkey if your prefer, maybe a PC issue?), network administrator, systems administrator, systems analyst, information analyst?
Those titles still exist, but after you read enough job postings for "network administrator", "network manager", or "network engineer" you might not remember what they meant to you originally because HR people are generally not tech-savvy, or jobs have to be posted in classification buckets that don't fit very well. I've seen more job postings than I care to count that asked for a "network engineer", but the closest duty the job actually called for was someone who knows how to manage Exchange and Active Directory.
