The titles of many professions sound in Russian almost the same way as in English.

For example: Russian language has  Программист, Банкир, Инженер, Администратор, Менеджер..

If one compares them with their english analogues:

Programmer, Banker, Engeneer, Administrator and Manager one can sees that them are similar.

But other professions titles are different: Официант as Waiter, Тренер as Coach, Художник as Artist.

Below on two pictures you can see titles of some Russian professions and one small test.
