Ouch!! I'm currently working for one of the "big 5" I.T consulting firms in North America (i'm based in Canada) and this company doesn't seem to have a written promotion policy for completion of certified program. I've been working at the same client for 2 yrs and probably I don't think my company has any reasons to increase the rates. So far, they've paid for my exams and I was scheduled to attend the Oracle - B&R training but now I passed the test so I guess there is no need to take the course now.

Gee, how did you get your raise, did they automatically give you one when you informed them that you've completed or did you fight to get one?? I guess now would be a bad time to ask for anything since the whole economy is kinda slow right now. Thanks
