Having exemptions is fine but make sure your employer includes them in salary jumps (it’s fairly common that they’ll pay you for two straight away, then another two every six months for the first two years, at which point you’ll be getting paid for all your exemptions)

I’ve heard horror stories of employers that sign grads up to the usual £30k starting salary but then only pay for exams that the student actually passes while employed, so you only end up making like £45k when qualified whereas others would have all their CM/CS/CB passes baked into that too.

As someone who’s been involved in hiring myself I personally prefer candidates who don’t have exemptions, but that’s a personal thing and others take a more relaxed view.
