Help me decide NOC 2173 or 2174

[handsyraj]

Hi,

I started my career as a Software Engineer, job profile being programming and creating software applications and websites. Eventually I switched to a new organization and am working as a programmer in a bank in IT division but since its a bank some 240 years old they have predefined posts and I am given designation as Client Reporting Specialist as I create complex reports for clients by programming in vb.net and Oracle as database. My question is which is the category(NOC) I should go for in FSW - 2173 or 2174 ?

Thanks guys!

I am also confused on which NOC I belong to. I have worked as a software testing quality assurance engineer and a programmer.

Please apply for the NOC in which you have a longer duration in terms of work experience so that you can earn a good score in your rating. It doesn't matter if its the first job. as long as it falls within the last 10 years
