I am a CA final old course student, passed group 2 in Nov 2020 & still struggling for group 1(marks 164 in may 2021 & 185 in Nov 2021). I am a post graduate(M.Com) & I am 30 this year. Can anyone suggest any valuable career option as I have decide to drop CA at this point.

Of course there are numerous career options but think once you only earn half of what you will expect after becoming CA it just 2-3 months away...

If there is any little chance of giving exam go for it..and improve some reading methodology from exam point of view..

anything else Connect me my mail faheemsheik123 @ gmail.com

In today's globalised era, you need not to have CA degree to succeed in career. Here are the options :

1. Get an international degree in accounting / auditing e.g. ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA, CPA (USA / AUS / NZ), CMA (USA), CIA, CISA, CFE etc. (all these courses are much easier than CA curriculum and several online / offline coaching classes are available in India).

2. Go for a course in ERP - SAP, Oracle EBS, Microsoft Business Central (MS Dynamics).

3. Go for a course on Data Analytics tools (ACL, IDEA), Data Visualisation / Business Intelligence Tools (R, Power BI, Tableau, Quilkview etc.).

4. Go for a course on a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tool (e.g. UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism etc.).

5. Go for a course on a GRC suite (e.g. RSA Archer, ServiceNow, SAP GRC etc. )

After gaining these skill sets, you will easily get an opportunity in an IT company, Big4, MNC, KPO, Global Delivery Centre / Shared Services Centre of an MNC / Big4.

I think you should clear CA whether 2 or 4 attempts with more and more day and night efforts. If your efforts will be in right way with full handwork and positivity you definitely will be CA or might be u have already cleared CA. And one more thing after clearing CA with such a long struggles is more helpful to you as well in terms of big satisfaction and also you developed strength which gives you lot of push in your career to move up and up and jump to compensate your time, struggles. So my advice never drop CA and give more hard efforts with positive thoughts and clear it.
