If you don't have a degree, you're not formally a mechanical engineer. That's probably why they thought they could lowball you.
It sounds like BS but software engineering is pretty much the only field in the US where people get to call themselves engineers without passing a PE exam, which means getting a degree. (There's a PE exam in most states for software engineering but it's still a bit of a joke.)
