I have completed my Industrial Training from BPCL, mumbai and articleship from a reputed firm. My age is about 25 years. My family had to shift to kolkata about 7 months back so i had to give a gap after IT. I have appeared for 4 attempts in Final and awaiting results, mostly cudn't clear because of IT. Please suggest should I join Job now or wait for cclearing my exam?

I have no immeadiate financial crisis.

Also pl. suggest whether I should join CA firm in kolkata or a pvt company, if you suggest me to join! And what can be my expectation as to Package here at Kolkata?

If there is no immediate financial problem, then I suggest you to concentrate your time more on Final exams by finding out your weak subjects and the mistakes you have done in earlier attempts. Utilise this time and definitely you will succeed. Once you join the job, you may get tired and concentration power may not remain same because of office tensions. Let other share their views.

Thanks Mr. Krishna for your reply! However would it be appropriate to wait for the job considering my age is now 25 yrs? Will this gap in service affect my career? Plz suggest

I think it should not affect... coz its depend on ur thinking towards ur career.... as per MR Krishna said.. if there is any financial prob in ur family then u should start job, if not try for exam.. dont take to much load on urself... clear ur basic concpet and then give exam... Basic concept give u two advantage... 1. to pass u in exam 2. defenately help in job if ur not pass....
