Hello Gurmeet,

First of all many many congratulations...........

According to me you should select Coca Cola company rather than jaypee associates....

Can you just share about the location offered to you in both the organisation.....

Thx Rajat.

The location yet not told to me. They can send anywhere. I think Coke wants more mobility. I am confused. Could u pls. give me the reason for Coca cola is better than Jaypee?

Thx again to all.

Well gurmeet,

Firstly Coke is a multinational, with a very lean hierarchy & where you will get very good exposure from very basic level of work.

The training period of the coke is beautifully planed.

I feel coke would be very good company to start with a carrer.

Hi Gurmeet,

First congratulations on getting job not one but two job offers .Please take into account take home aspect as well . In some cases take home salary is quite low.. Always ask for fixed proportion . so always go thru the break up of salary component.before accepting any offer.... Just want to know since you have been in campus and that are newly qualified is this remuneration also offered top those who have done articleship from medium firms and clear CA in two - three attempts . if not then what is current trend going on.....

Helo Gurmeet,

Ya it is a good profile indeed, ya you can go for CFA, I had done it from ICFAI bt i will suggest for CFA(US) rathe r than this one.

But after joining the accounts department in a company it is more better to go for CIMA or CPA raher than CFA. There is good opportunities in MNC's after doing CIMA or CPA and event abroad.

Thanks...
