05 November 2013 hi everyone!
when I look for the average salary for a fresh CS, I often end up with 3-4lakhs p.a.

then, why does a fresh CA gets more than a CS?

BOTH THE COURSES ARE EQUAL IN THEIR DIFFICULTY LEVELS, MARKS CRITERIA, ETC.

even a fresh CS ranker is not crossing 5 lacs pa..why is this happening?

I am pursuing CS-Exe and this salary criteria is seriously dis-heartening me!

05 November 2013 To a large extent salary depends upon your skills & knowledge.Even more on how your professional market value is more than others.There are fresh CAs who are working at a scale of 20000pm while there is a case where a fresh CA is offered a salary of 26lakhs p.a.
Being a fresher at this time learning & maximum exposure should be your concern & not the salary

06 November 2013 thanks for replying.
I agree with you that knowledge and experience plays a big role..
but..
see here, the opening salary is around 4 lacs for a fresh CS and for a CA..it is greater than that.
I am talking about a ranker in CS vs a ranker in CA only.
here both the persons havenot gained any sort of experience as both are freshers.
then, why is the market for CS not opening in a wider aspect.

06 November 2013 We can't compare both course with each other.
If there is any vacancy in my group companies, I always prefer CA due to multiple working of accounts/cost/taxation .
There is thought in industry that CS work scope is only secretarial work and ROC Work . Hence they prefer CA with high salary because CA Can do this secretarial work.

08 November 2013 thanks sir.
I wish, industry starts looking CS and CA equally.

sir, is there any chance to cross 7-8 lacs fresher's salary if one is a rank holder in CS (both exec & prof)?
