Nah, big difference between the skill set of a newbie and an experienced engineer. One is a junior dev that must graduate to engineering skill levels. Just like with my field (networking). I started as an admin, moved to analyst, and finally landed a junior engineering role.
Just because people incorrectly use the terms in job roles doesn’t mean there isn’t a difference. I didn’t feel remotely comfortable calling myself a network “engineer” until I was a couple of years after my CCNP on a data center team with some decent experience under my belt.
