17 July 2011 I've just given my May 2011 IPCC attempt.

I really have gotta think where to join for articleship (BIG4 or Medium).

I really need help. Many people suggested that I join BIG4 if i wanted to have a career in service & if i wanted to do practice , then i better join a MEDIUM firm. Is this logical?

Also i want to do service for a few years & then settle down in Practice.

My other option is to do CPA & go abroad.

Plz help. How much does your choice about your training firm going to affect your career?

17 July 2011 Hello srinath

Will talk about medium first - In Medium firms you can gain knowledge and good exposure in diff fields, you will handle diff types clients but its depends on principle train you again..
And stipend will not be much..

Big 4- Its like MNC firms were you can gain knowledge and good exposure in only one field, you can expect good stipend..

Finally you need to get good exposure in all fields so try for top medium firms...

For practice you need diff fields of exposure so medium firms always better...

17 July 2011 Thanks a lot! But stipend is not important for me! More the exposure the better i guess..
