Exam bonuses

ElektroToad

Hi all,

Just wondering if the bigger firms still give bonuses to trainees for successfully passing their exams? Or has this sort of thing stopped in recent years?

For some reason I had the impression that you could expect a few hundred euros from your employer for passing the likes of CAP1 or CAP2s?

Amazing how it has depleted over time; when I passed FAE in 1994 (shock horror), we had lunch in the partners dining room and at each seat was an ingraved wooden pen (cheapskates) plus a bank draft for IR£1,500 (about €1,800).

It's €2,500 for passing FAE in big 4

That's closer to the inflated value from 1994; bigmc23 suggested it was only €1,000 for Big 4. MAybe it varies from firm to firm, it certainly did 20 years ago.

It's €2,500 in all the big 4 firms, don't mind Big Mac 23, he's got worms.
