Threw it in the bank, $5K + Exam Reimbursement + Application Reimbursement + Ninja Notes & Wiley Test Bank Reimbursement! Turned out pretty nice even after taxes.

Planned to buy a bottle of Don Julio Real, but I'm too cheap, so I bought myself a shot of it at a bar–it was fantastic! LOL

I work for a major university and there is no bonus. I will turn it into dollars by applying for and getting a new job with a major pay raise. The gift that keeps on giving!

I'm with the “what bonus?!” crowd. lol. At some point, either I'll get a significant raise or get a position elsewhere that pays better…but when it gets done, the only “raise” will be no more expense for books, tests, and travel to take them. Reimbursement + bonus = 0.00 here.

Mine has basically already been spent: furniture, work clothes, rent etc. It'll be nice to pay everything off though.

Although if I can average a 96 on REG and BEC I get 20k bonus. Considering the minuscule chance of that happening I don't even want to think of what I would do with it

Taking my boyfriend on a nice vacation since he didn't dump me for being an absolutely miserable human being while studying lol.

Or paying off my student loans .. yeah, probably not.

- passed all 4 exams on my first try using Becker!

I'm not expecting a bonus for passing the exam. But a nicer YE bonus if I pass by my goal date sure would be nice! Oh and a decent raise! In any event… I WILL be planning some kind of tropical vacation getaway.

FAR - 7/13 - 72, 11/13- 74, 2/14- 82!!! Best score ever (for me)!!!
BEC - 1/14 - 75!!! Perfect score! First Pass! YAY!!!
AUD - 8/14 - 80!!!
REG - 5/14 - 72, 10/14 - 66, 1/15 - 78 - DONE FOREVER!!!
I did 5 of the UNA and CPAExcel classes to earn units.

I always thought the bonus was having the three letters behind your name.

BEC: (54), (72), 80 (losing credit on 02/02/15 - nervous)

Darn!! I just got an email saying that I am not eligible to receive the bonus because I did not get a masters or MBA prior to my start date. Bonus is only given to those who have this higher education. I was planning on using that money for my new apartment. So bummed out.

^Do you have an offer letter that spells out the bonus? Might want to have a look and see if it spelled out that you had to have a masters

@acamp it was listed in the employee handbook but it was wordy. it definitely sucks. i would guess that a slim # of people actually get this bonus.
