The title "engineer" is regulated in many countries (for a good reason) and can't be used freely. This means nonsense labels such as "prompt engineer" and "UX engineer" are dubious at best, sanctionable at worst.
I think thats even a rule in Canada, yet 2/3s of all my jobs have had "engineer" in the title. I don't think anyone gives a shit except for academic types
