14 September 2010 Sir,
01. My age is 42 years
02. I am working in an elevator manufacturing company at kolkata since 1998 as accountant.
03. I am looking after the entire tasks of the accounts department which includes Finalising accounts independently, Banking, preparataion of CMA data, VAT returns and assessments of W.B , Bihar , Orissa, PF/ESI requirements. TDS , etc.
04.My qualification is-
a. B.Com from Calcutta University
b. Passed C.A. Entrance Exam in 1990.
c. Completed articleship in 1993.
d. Passed MBA (Finance) course from Sikkim Manipal University in 2010.

Now my question is how I can provide an edge to my carreer? What are the options open for me in respect of doing any course? Presently my CTC is 2.60 lacs P.a. then what will be expected CTC in case of Job change?

14 September 2010 Hi,

Your qualifications and experience is outstanding. But your CTC is really low keeping in view your age and work profile.

I think main reason is you have not tried to explore the market.

According to me long term course is not advisable. You should go for IFRS course. Try and explore market and change your job as early as possible.

Show your present CTC 3 lakhs (coz u r deserving). you may expect 20-25% increase that comes to more than 3.5 lakhs.

All the Best

14 September 2010 Please change the job first. for your experience and qualification you can get a job atleast for 5 Lakh CTC. Please Update your CV in the Naukri and you will recieve good offers. Instead of doing long term course its better to go for certifications in accounts as said by Ankur.

20 September 2010 Thanks to Mr. Rajesha and Mr Ankur Garg.

Sir,
I have already updated my CV in Naukri.co., Timesjobs and in monster.com

Wqaiting for the call...I am ready for relocation also if any good opportunity comes.

I am desparately looking for the job change .. considering your replies i think i should quote my expected salary as monthly Rs. 30000 take home. It will make the CTC near 5 lacs p.a. What is your opinion sir?

And for relocation what is your advise, sir ?
The ICAI is taking IFRS course the fees is Rs. 50000 for nonmembers..iam planning to do it in jan2011.
Will the certification is sigma6 will be helpfull for me anyway?

Thanks once again to Mr. Rajesha and Mr. Ankur Garg , sir.
Warm Regards

20 September 2010 Nice to hear from you sir.

5 lacs CTC idea is fine. Infact all your ideas are fine. Just go ahead and rock.

If possible re-locate yourself but only for some extra-ordinary package. At this point of age no need to re-locate yourself for experience. Now just look for good package.

All the Best

20 September 2010 To be honest there is no need to do CS now. In fact prepare yourself for IFRS only. Just believe in yourself.

Your present experience + MBA Fin + IFRS is enough to get you anything in life.

All the Best
