Did the SIE help your odds of attaining a job?

It seems I have been struggling to get an interview for a company that could sponsor my series, so I decided to do my SIE first. Did the SIE help you attain a job? I have a bachelors in finance and I’m giving myself as much time as possible to brush up on my knowledge, I’m sitting for my SIE in about 2 months. Please. Any advise would be amazingly appreciated. Thanks!
