I am currently a student of IPCC, and working in the Operations Dept of an Investment Bank. Due to long working hours, I do not find time to go for coaching or self-study, but I really really want to be a CA. Please suggest ways and means that I can use. I also heard from some friends, that doing both groups separately, will be detrimental to me trying for a BIG-4 articleship, as well as a subsequent career with them. Guys/Gals, am really frustrated and depressed as I feel everything hopeless before me.
P.S. - I cannot leave my job before beginning articleship, due to financial difficulties at home.
Any suggestions and guidance would be welcome. Please post as many resolutions to this as possible.

Please note that after you complete your ca there are ample jobs for you its like fishing in a sea you have to net it properly.
With reference your job and financial condition please choose a job with limited hours which will fecth you a salary to take care of your immediate needs.
Cut short your expenditures to necesssity and with part time job money you meet your expenses and should automatically utilse the avaialble time on studies and complete the course.
Once the course is completed look out for a good pay job. When you go for interviews they see your capabilities and do not see whether you have completed both groups at a time or single, single group.

Thank you Sir,
So does this mean that irrespective of whether I complete both groups together or one at a time (May'10 & Dec'10), I can still land an articleship in a Big 4 Firm.

You have to complete compulsory of IPCC 1st group to join for articles, then you can complete 2nd group any time...its better clear it of in same time if you cant then 1st group is must for articles...All the best
