> There are people in FAANG the dont even have any post secondary making > 500k a year as "Software Engineers". How this works without total chaos is that each company has a rigorous testing procedure for candidates. That's what I expect from a credible credentialing organization, to be able to tell me that person X meets a minimum bar. Right now they get a bad press because, especially in the medical field, it's more about gate keeping and lobbying than actually enforcing standards and protecting the public. I would argue that surely someone making that type of money at a world class organization like Google would have no problem passing any engineering exam.
