nice work

Kudos on that

Nice work is a compliment acknowledging someone's successful effort or accomplishment: Nice work on the presentation.

The phrase can be genuinely appreciative or lightly sarcastic when things go wrong: Nice work, genius—you locked us out.

Nice work if you can get it refers to an enviable job or situation.
