I did 3,2, and now 1, so all are due in same yr.

Don't let the ECIB dictate how long you stay, it's a nice chunk of change but not worth a year out of your career. Instead use it to try and get a bigger sign-on bonus from wherever you're leaving to.

More tax is withheld on the check upfront, but it's ultimately taxed at your marginal rate. So are all of your options.

This myth oddly keeps getting perpetuated amongst professional service firms somehow. We should probably know better, people. ☺

KPMG1: thought of doing that too; but, God forbid, what if you don't get promoted to manager by end of year 3 as a Senior? Not sure if I'm willing to stay extra year to collect that...

I'm doing 3, 2, 1 as well. Agreed it should dictate your decisions, but if you're on the fence it is a nice incentive.

The sheer attrition rate at B4 suggests one year is the best option.

After taxes, the 1 yr amount is not much of an incentive..

For those who have taken it, are there any cheaper or alternative study materials to any official guides you would recommend? I went this route with the PHR and SHRM-SCP and passed each on the both try, so I wanted to see if that method may be viable here. Any recommended order to take courses in?

Any advice on renegotiating my salary? I’m a compounding pharmacist and i also float to other stores while also being solely responsible for the compounding pharmacy. I perform MTMs for 6 or so stores and am now a being asked to other projects. I originally signed on to only do compounding and occasionally fill in at other stores when needed. I have another offer from a hospital that is significantly higher than what i am being paid now. Would just like some pointers on this kind of conversation
