> One distinction is that traditional engineering jobs are usually advertised as requiring a Bachelors of Engineering degree from an accredited institution. In the software development world I don't think there is such a hard requirement on the types of qualifications the applicant needs. Even software engineers / software developers who have accredited engineering degrees are subjected to the same excessive interview process as those that received their training at a boot camp or are self taught.
