It's entirely possible that a job might require a P.Eng, but that would mostly be at the company's discretion. For instance, if you were working on mission critical code like avionics or power plant control. I'm not sure as to the rules for requiring a software P.Eng. I don't think they're entirely set yet. I really should look through my association's rules more. If you're in an engineering department at a university, getting the P.Eng is advisable as they need a certain amount to be accredited. I think in that case there's a pay bump.
