Pls refer the subject papers before you going to register....You can do CA if you are focused, we can give opinions but your decisions gave sucess or failure depends upon your hardwork and perseverance....

Why i am not advising. i will be out of mney for next 5-6yrs. though there is no age to learn,but doing ca at age of 30 is nt a good choice. We will have to focus only on studies. You cant afford too much friend,fun,marriage. Everything have to be sacrificed. Moreover,there is no guarantee that a person will pass ca. though if u have focus and study hard,u can.
but now think practically,if you spend 5-6yr in investment banking sector,you will be in a much better position without having CA. you cant do CA while continuing your existing job. you have to resign from ur job. Better do Acca,cpa or MBA. Think the value of time,and what you are getting. Sometimes a degree is not a factor at all.

If you have already worked in an Investment bank, you don't need to do CA. Instead, you can do CFA which is much more into Corporate finance. CA should be given priority if you are looking to make your career in Accounting/Auditing profile. If you are looking for Corporate finance role in future, CFA is much better. Also, it will take only 1.5 years if you clear in every exam
