Impressive but not interesting? I'd say you work in finance. If people ask, just say basically you move money around, say you've handled over a million in a single transaction before, but you can't say much more about it.

I asked chatgpt to flesh out some deflections and titles, heres what it said;

finance jobs often sound impressive and can easily be cloaked in confidentiality. Here’s how to make it believable if someone presses for details:

Job Title: Private Asset Coordinator or Portfolio Transactions Specialist

These sound legit but vague, and hint at moving money around.

General Responsibilities:

"I work on coordinating large transactions for high-net-worth clients."

"Basically, I ensure funds are allocated correctly between accounts or investments during big financial moves, like acquisitions or trust setups."

"It’s about making sure everything is compliant and error-free."

Drop Some Industry Buzzwords:

"I mostly deal with wire transfers, portfolio rebalancing, and escrow management."

"It’s all about precision and mitigating risk for the client."

"Sometimes, there’s a lot of collaboration with compliance officers and legal teams."

Responding to Follow-Up Questions:

“What’s the most you’ve handled?” "The biggest was just over a million, but it’s not about the size—it’s about getting everything processed without errors."

“What kind of clients?” "Mostly private investors or family offices. It’s pretty varied."

“How’d you get into it?” "I started in a general banking role, got into asset management, and eventually specialized in this."

Deflecting Further:

"I can’t really talk specifics, but let’s just say it keeps me on my toes!"

"Honestly, the job sounds cooler than it is. A lot of it is spreadsheets and emails."
