Articleship dilemma

Hey all, please guide me through my dilemma.. 

 

I am currently undergoing articleship in a mid sized firm. I am not exposed to much work and there is a lot of free time; most of my fellow articles are taking up extra courses (CS/CWA, etc.) to keep themselves busy. 

 

In your opinion, should I continue here and add another qualification to my name and gain theoritical knowledge or should I transfer to some other firms to gain practical exposure? 

 

Please do share your suggestions. Thank you!

passing exam is everything. learn as much as you can where u r now.

Agree with Mr. Ravi suggestions.

And also you can utilize your time to gain more knowledge through internet related to your work

 

 

 

Thank you for your response! 

 

Is it enough to just get theoritical knowledge and not much practical exposure? 

Your contibutions are needed and appreciated! Please do contribute! 

Hi Arya

You can utilised your valuable time by -

1) taking some other courses like CS/CMA alongwith your CA/Articleship-but prior approval is required from ICAI

2) By spending you time on google-you can learn alot of practical things there ie: www.educba.com (provide short term courses which will give you practical exposure)

3) Gain expertise in advanced excel

4) Plan you studies and in my opinion you can get great exposure in your current articleship firm but you have to make some extra efforts as well

 

I hope it will help you.

Thank you! That did help :) 

 

So if I continue here and dont get much practical things done, wont it be a problem later (when i go/apply for my first job)? 

See no firm ill give you full experience/expertise, you ill gain it over the time because accounts & finance is so vast so don't worry and try to make of the most.

 

 

What if I have an option to move to a more practically inclined firm/company? Should I take the option? 

yes offcourse
