Job toh mil jayegi but most of the times CAs are underemployed. I have seen a fresh CA who is llb,mcom and well versed in income tax,service tax,vat and audit getting only 2lacs pa in a metro;mind u he was not a dummy and rather he did articleship for 6 years.The problem was he cleared in 3 attempts his final. Another CA from the same firm is having mcom qualification; also cleared in his 3rd attempt(because of his CA , a powerful icai member who didn't give proper holidays); wasted his 2 attepts; and in 3rd attempt got 60+ in 3 papers of group 2.He was academically very sound and a of similar experience as article. He had to waste 1 year before getting a job of 4lacs pa at a pharma-giant. What i mean is that "just being a CA doesn't get u a proper paying job" easily. ICAI only brags about how easily CAs land in jobs. Many people in CAclubindia also have said about this.When they have vacancy for 10 people; they allow in 1000 aspirants even when they know that the recruiters have asked for first time passers or rankers; and mint easy money from aspiring CAs
