If you have a federal job and you got your CPA either before or after starting your job, did you get an grade or step increases due to having/obtaining the certification?

Hi Sam – I don't have a federal job, however I did have a two-year internship with my local VA when I was in college. I was told that getting my CPA would really not impact a VA career at all. The only increase in pay would come from a Master's degree.

B - 80
A - 80
R - 71, 59, 74, 80 FINALLY!
F - 77

Used Kaplan for FAR, BEC, AUD, and the first 2 REG attempts. I started using NINJA about 2 weeks before my 3rd REG attempt. I believe it's why I was so close to passing and why I passed the 4th time. USE IT FROM THE BEGINNING.

I work for local county government and I just passed the CPA recently. I was given a 5% increase….I guess it's better than nothing.

REG - 82
FAR - 78
BEC - 76
AUD - 8/27/16
