We didn’t make software engineer money when we didn’t have “engineer” in our titles. I would be perfectly happy to be a “senior systems administrator” or similar if it didn’t impact my earnings potential.

Oddly enough traditional engineers (electrical, mechanical, etc.) don't make software engineering money.
That’s not my experience. The feature folks used to come to sysadmin because the money was better.
