Heck, I know testing, cloud, CI/CD, devops, etc. and have been doing it for 9 years.

And I still don't feel I can adequately call my self an engineer.

I feel like I can't call myself an engineer cause while I'm a decent doer who executes well, I am not the one coming up with high level plans of architecture. I've never been put on the spot.

Same, but for 12 years and I agree, even though I've done a lot of high-level architecture in the past few years. Some of my job consists of engineering no-doubt, but until I've graduated with my engineering BS, I'm just "developer" unless someone gives me a title that says otherwise.

Just been given the software engineer title at a few jobs, which I know is just a job title at this point.
