I know he's describing himself as this, not you. However, I used to be a research scientist, now I work in IT *in* scientific research. There is a world of difference between both. I really wish that internet and software companies would stop glorifying the significance of what they do and simply own up to the fact they've found a novel way of making money. It reminds me of the way that advertising fiims have appropriated the word 'creative' for their own use. “Raghav Gupta was a research scientist at eBay Research Labs”
