Benefits of FRM Exam?

Hello All,

I work in the risk management industry and was just wondering how many of you have taken the FRM exam level 1 and passed? What were immediate benefits upon passing of level 1? Passing of level 2? Becoming officially certified? I am just trying to understand the benefits of passing each level prior to official certification. I am sitting for the exam within the next year, so any feedback would be appreciated!
