    sometimes sign "Director" or "Managing Director" though

    but just not the street cred of my official title :

    "Decrepit Old Code Monkey"

    I prefer Sockpuppet - Box Jockey

    I'm a Director.

    Because that's what my company documents say I am.

    Nothing more
    Nothing less.

    I think Director is the legally official one ... The others (MD, Executive Director etc) are dependent on the company structure ... If you are a typical one-man band contractor, doesn't really matter ....

    What your business card/ says, should depend on the receipient ... To clients, agents and my network, my card mentions '<myskill> consultant' .. For other places, like banks, insurance etc, I use my 'Director' card ...

    My business cards are blank. Has this caused my recent ill fortune?

    Modesty prevents me from revealing my true title of HRH Pontiff Supreme Commander Imperius.

    I don't put a title in email or on a business card.

    Some letters I sign as "Managing Director" or "Technical Director" or with not title, depending on the audience and the subject.

    I don't put down the fact that I'm a director on my business card, I just use my core skill - it's more relevant.
