I’ve worked at a lot of places and rarely are bonuses given out anymore. Kind of a job requirement now. Reimbursement is the minimum expectation. Slalom handed out a wrestling style trophy/belt of you knocked out all of the architect certs.
Well the bonus you get from getting one of those certifications is that you can get a big raise and go work for one of those companies. I left the big four and came to AWS. Having more certs means more growth. What most people don’t realize is Their firm is most likely a partner to one of those tech companies and can get a lot of training for free. Also you can buy practice tests and get a voucher and training for less than $1000. I would invest $1000 in myself for the opportunity to have more choices. But most firms would cover that.. It may depend on how cool your boss is LOL
i got an email saying congrats
I got a kick in the ass.
Reimbursement only and if your people manager wants then a shoutout and peers emailing you saying congrats, wow, well done.
You can expense the cost and a pat in the back
For those complaining: are you interested in tech firms or IT exits to industry?
Getting certs beyond the intro course can add tens of thousands to your market value upon exit.
I got $250
PwC offers vouchers that cover the cost of certification for at least some certs, and depending on timing and type of cert this year they offered $250 & $500 bonuses
It is paid for, but continuous education and improvement is just part of the job, to me.
I got a sticker
