I just wrapped up and passed my CPA exams while still in school. For those who passed all 4 sections before your first FT offer, did you negotiate higher than the standard new hire salary? I'm curious if firms actually budge on comp for this or if I should just accept what's offered until I have more experience.

In public, getting your CPA is an expectation. You may get a one time bonus upon passing before starting, as that is meant to incentivize young staff to get it done quickly, but a salary bump probably isn’t realistic, given you have no experience.

I agree - sign on bonus because now they don't have to invest in any CPA classes for you, allow you time to study or time off to take the test.

I'd negotiate sign on bonus at best but you won't get higher comp.

Most firms offer a cpa bonus but it doesn’t matter if you pass before or after stating. Reality is 70+ % of staff leave within the few years so there’s no shortage of CPAs to promote to manager.

Does that sound like a decent counter?
