When somebody asks what you do for a living, there’s two layers to this question, according to IG account social_intell.

One layer is surface: taking the question literally, answering literally like ‘I’m a project manager at company X.'

But social_intell says they’re really gauging your status and whether you extract or provide value. You should explain what problem you can solve for people and what you’re building: eg “I help companies build products people actually want. What about you?”
