Do good firms take articleship transfer???

YOU CAN TAKE TRANSFER WITHIN ONE YEAR

Yes. You can later opt for industrial training, if you want to join the corporate world post qualification.

i know that i can take transfer within a year but will a reputed firm take me in as a article?

are you in industrial training? what is it like? from where are you doing it? what is the general policy of the industry regarding holiday for our exam?

I completed my Industrial training last year from Deutsche bank. The working conditions and the quality of work is materially better than that of C.A. firms (also it depends which industry you have opted). However, we don't get a luxury of 5-6 months of leave (obviously!!!). It's generally 3-4 months, including exam days. However, doing an I.T. in a reputed company can give you easier access to great companies after qualification.You get an edge over others during institutes placements as well. In my personal case, I got absorbed by DB after clearing, and am being paid as much as IIM grads.
