Worthwhile getting the AWS cloud practitioner cert? (Will there be a return financially in ease of finding job or higher salary)?

Probably not with the practitioner. A lot of job postings iv seen list that the preferred candidate will have at least one of the associate certifications so I would start there.

It doesn't do much for you. Cert takes 10 hrs of studying to get. Even the SAA won't get you more jobs

Doesn’t do a ton for you, but can be a big help for your firm. AWS has different levels of partnership and certain competencies which allow your firm to co-sell with AWS. These levels and competencies all require a number of certs from practitioners at the firm.

Long story short, get your firm to pay for it. Free certs are always a good idea. Isn’t gonna hurt your resume.

Hello, I have received offer letter from EY LLP for Manager position.
There is a bonus component over and above the CTC mentioned in offer letter.

When asked, HR conveyed the below, verbally.
'Bonus is between 10-20% depending on performance. Usually 15% on an average.'

1) This bonus range (10-20%) is not mentioned in the offer letter. Is this usually the case?

2) Are people in EY receiving the bonus right from the first year on the job or is there some extra t&c I was not made aware?
