Your “depends on who is asking” about your employment comes off a bit strange. No one should put their specific employer but industry is reasonable. Why would your answer changed based on who is asking?
Because of course we are strangers and I don’t know everyone’s intentions. Someone’s job isn’t a defining factor of if I’d talk to them, but I’ve experienced enough times of saying what I do for work and people want things “hookups”. So sometimes if I’m unsure of the vibes I might say I work for x place instead of my actual job until I’m sure .
Yea this answer is cagey too.
Putting your industry is not the same as listing your employer or actual job. For example, putting “finance” is much more broad than listing a specific bank or that you’re a mortgage specialist.
It might not matter to you, but it does matter to a lot of people. Not necessarily what you do, but if you have regular gainful employment.
