Any auditors in here get their CFE after you already passed your CPA? Did your firm pay you more for it?

I have 3 certs. The firm won't pay you more for getting them, once you're hired they don't care. The only thing is they might make a cert required for a promotion, but that usually just means having at least a CPA or CISA. Any additional certs will only be beneficial when you're looking to go elsewhere and need to make yourself more marketable

I got my CFE. KPMG paid + 1k bonus. Advisory services.

If you've already received the $5k bonus for the CPA, PwC won't offer any other bonuses for other exams. Speaking from experience...
