What do you think is a fair raise when achieving the CPA? 5%? 10%? Just curious what other people have experienced.

You may get a one time bonus but def no raise.

Second this. One time bonus is my experience

It is an expectation of the job you’re already performing at the salary you’re already getting. Your firm is kind enough to pay you your current salary level before you completed your exams.

Never heard of anyone who got a raise when they passed. Just the bonus.

Maybe depends on your job... does the one you have require you to have a cpa?
No... oh okay. Good for you then. ::Pat,pat:: congratulations on your new designation

In a round tables, a career advisor told the table that the advisee expected a promotion to senior after getting his CPA. Everybody laughed…. 😬😬😬

Is getting a CPA really as coveted as some people make it sound? I literally thought it was basically the price of admission…kinda a requirement and nothing spectacular? Am I dumb?

It’s not spectacular, but you would be surprised at the number of new hires I have seen come in and just not even try to pass for a while, when if you’re in tax or audit it will limit your growth at some point.

0%. Raises only come with year-end review/promo. You can mention that you obtained the CPA license in the year if you want that to be a factor in your year end review.

Kudos that's about it these days. Still gotta put in the hard work to get raises and promotions.

Hahah is all I have to say

CPA is just the minimum credential for the manager position

You still have to earn the manager title

Demand nothing less than 15%, or you will walk! Worked for me

Pass bonus and ability to grow up in titles

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.
