My company has facilities in PA, : :wv: : and Ohio.
Though my office is in PA, I considered taking in : :wv: : because the experience required there is only 4 years after college.
I waited a couple years after college to take the FE (graduated in 2006 FE in october 2008), and first available test date
to meet PA experience requirements was october 2013. So with the delays the wait ends up being 5 full years between
FE and PE. PA may not be the only state where this is a problem, but taking in : :wv: : would have definitely expedited the process.
I live/work in PA I took the FE in PA 2 years ago, rather than waiting for the 4 years of experience acquired after passing the FE, I took the PE in NJ this year (~45 min drive to Trenton vs ~60 minute drive to Philly for me) since NJ requires 4 total years of experience regardless of when you took the FE. In fact I have 2 coworkers that sat for the PE Friday and then FE Saturday in NJ
F. That.
The FE kicked my tail, there's no way my mind could function properly to take a second 8-hour exam a day later. My hats off to them.
