It's almost like software wants to be a real profession when it grows up, like Doctor or Lawyer or Engineer. Doctors generally only take the one MCAT. Lawyers generally only take the one Bar Exam per state they expect to work in. Civil/Mechanical/Chemical Engineers only take the one FEng/PE combo of exams for their discipline.
It's fascinating how many people in the software industry want the title "Engineer" but don't want benefits of the title like standardized tests and ethics boards because they are afraid of standardized tests and ethics boards.
Outside of civil engineering PEs aren't common. There was one for CS but no one took it. PEs are mostly useful for people signing stuff off for regulators.
