27 April 2016 Hello dear professionals,
I am a CS and also appearing for CA final although i have completed 1and half years of being CS still i am not employed.
Whenever i apply for a job the employer says me that "if u dont mind we would like to ask you about your marriage plans?"
As i am or 28years and still unmarried so even after assuring them that i cn work for long term and have no plans for getting married in near future still i dont get the job.
Moreover few companies do offer me job but in the city like pune they are giving just 18000 p.m salary.
I have completed articleship of CA as well of CS and is an associate member of ICSI still sitting at home.
What should i do now?
I am totally depressed can anyone help me out?is doing CA and CS was wrong decision?even after clearing CS my worth is just 18k and instead of my professional degrees companies are more interested in marriage certificates?should i really get married so that i can get a job in company?
My parents have been looking for guy but as i am manglik so its not that easy i dont belive but yes people do belive.
My father out of frustation said CS is completely worthless if you were a CA this thing would have never mattered is it really so?
I know i am failure in CA but yes i am proud to say atleast i am CS.
If anyone is there please help me out.
Thanks

27 April 2016 Dear Anonymous, I know life is tough on you. You have had to face problems many cannot think of. Do not doubt your professional degree at any point of time in your life. As regards your question of marriage, employers all this question in order to know the time frame you shall be with them. You should have high hopes. It's a good thing. But just because someone is offering you less salary doesn't mean you should not accept the job. Start is essential. Take up the job. 18k is not a paltry amount. Show the employer through your work and commitment that you mean business and are a long term player. Start. Eventually you'll reach higher ground.

28 April 2016 The question of marriage is of PRIME importance in the cases of GIRLs. Since this question is bothering you in your interview suggests your gender.
If you want to earn money right from day 1, please complete your CA first and then start giving interview.

28 April 2016 Thank you kaushik sir for understanding my condition really your words are very precious but still sir i know i am professionally more worth than this just because i am not able to clear CA and i am not married should i start with 18k i have really invested a good amount of my life for doing sincerely these courses along with their articleships is it just that all this worth only 18k p.m?and when i am assuring companies that i can work with them for long term than whats the problem of employing its not like that i scored less marks in their entrace test recently i had scored the highest ranking in interview in a company but still i was rejected as i was a girl and unmarried.
Thats wat makes me more upset..

28 April 2016 Thank you amol sir..
Its not that i have left CA or i have give up trying for it i am appearing for exams in may 2016 but still i cannot be sure that i will be clearing.
I have cleared my CS in first attempt but yes i took more than normal attempts to clear my pcc and till now i am not able to clear finals.
Is it that only CA can earn from day1?what about CS does it dont have the same worth as CAs have?
Why CS are always offered less salary even though now they are regarded as KMPs.
The same thing i hear everyday agar aisa hi hai tho CA kar lo life set hogi.i am trying but uska kya jo mere pass already hai?kya woh sirf ek degree hai jiski koi value nahi?

28 April 2016 01. Well! Please try to understand a very simple rule of professionals in practice. They earn less in the initial years. But as the time progresses, the professional starts earning by leaps and bounds. But for the professionals in service are on different level altogether.
02. Now between, CA and CS. Both are good at its own places. But at entry level, the work expected out of a CS is considered trivial by the industry and hence they are less paid, lesser even than a TL in MNC or a call centre. That might frustrate you but it is the Gospel truth.
03. A stage will come in your life, when at the time of promotion to top management level, this combination of CA + CS will help you to have an edge over your competitors. So to say, CS is a long time investment and hence please do not expect short term returns from the same. Ok?
Your reciprocation please.

28 April 2016 one more thing, since you said you cleared CS in first attempt but could not clear CA in first attempt.
This time, please remove it from your mind that you are CS. Consider yourself to be student appearing for CA for the first time. Dont keep any hang ups about the past. Take it as a fresh attempt.
All the best

28 April 2016 Thank you sir.
Yes sir even though i am CS i always first consider myself as CA because that was what i always wanted to be about CS i took this course just because after many failure those people who used to appreciate me for my good work used to call me a failure moreover someone just said i am good for nothing ans it was casually when i showed interest in knowing about CS as my cousin sis cleared so my uncle said "beta tujhse CA toh ho nahi raha CS kaha se karegi.rehne do tumhare bus ki baat nahi hai"
Hahaha toh bus josh josh mai le liya aur luckily clear bhi ho gaya..but i was never able to come out of the fact that still i am a struggler for CA so i never clelebrated my success also.well this are all a part of life.thank u so much sir for spending your valuable time.
I will try to give my best and hope so soon i will tell you sir abhi mai CA bhi ho gayi :-)
Thanks Sir.
