This is very similar to what I say: “I work in software at a finance company”.

I do C++ programming, not data science, but again that’s not something that the average person cares about.

The average person probably thinks C++ programming is programming. I tried to buy a laptop once for development and the salesman kept insisting that I don't need a fast one for programming because C++ is just plaintext.

I laughed so hard at this. It takes a super computer to run resharper alone.

> and I honestly think the title itself is kind of cringey.

..Thank you!!

I agree.

Applied statistics?

I broaden it out, instead of narrowing down on something else. Software development is a close enough description for a general audience.
