Really good engineers can pretty much name their own salary.
I've interviewed dozens that put a lot of buzz words on a resume and

What engineering discipline are you trained and licensed in?

Software... systems architecture and database design, real time.

I've never been required to be "licensed".


AIR, to call yourself an "Engineer" in some states, you must be licensed.


My official job title is "Principal Engineer".


Inside-the-company job titles don't count.

I don't hold a PE license.
Apparently people with my same job in my company who work in Canada have a
different title, because Canadian laws do not allow a job title to include
the word "engineer" unless they are licensed.


To sell a service in which you call yourself an "engineer" is what I was
refering to.

I have held state certificates as a Mechanical Engineer, and as a Civil
Engineer, but neither does me much good anymore (and haven't for a long
time).
