really? are you in US now? are you talking about the situation now? does passing the first 4 paper really help to find a job? thanks
It really helps if you passed all 4 preliminary exams. But it doesn't help you, if the employer won't sponsor any international student in work visa. I have been in US for a couple of years, but not now.
stupid question, but by "4 preliminary exams" do you mean P/FM/MFE/MLC, or P, FM, both M, AND C?
