nice job

Praise for accomplishment

Nice job is a brief expression of approval or praise for something done well: Nice job on the presentation.

It's casual and direct, appropriate between peers or from a supervisor to a subordinate.

The tone can range from genuine compliment to mildly sarcastic, depending on context: Oh, nice job locking us out of the car.
