Hi Amit,

Dont feel depressed, you are really great my friend. Its not easy to clear CA final that to in first attempt. Due to recession job are not getting job, many CAs' position is also same like yours. but this wont be for long time. Be positive, dont loose your hope.

ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FUTURE.

Sometimes counting chickens before they hatch works Amit....just imagine for 5 five minutes the day when you will prove yourself -you will smile and will claim to your friends " Yaar maine bhi kisi bhi business icon se kum struggle nai kiya yahan tak aane ke liye."

Just for sake of that particular winning speech...dont loose confidence

Hehe . I am not good in dialoguebaazi priyanka . By the way i agree that struggle will be there and i have to face it . But the problem is that i am not getting any opportunities and CA firms offering very less so i am thinking better go for a different options

You looks like self motivated priyanka . Very good . I doubt my abilities now . Hindi me kahawat hai na ki '' khali dimag shaitaan ka ghar hota hai " same is happening with you . I have no work to do thats why i started doubting myself . Still dont know what to do . Bit confused

boss Amit.. get used to tough times.. don't expect much sympathies. you seem like you were expecting the world to be offered on platter after completing CA. No orientation program will teach you but let me tell you - the first 3-4 years after completing CA will be a struggle. You will doubt your abilties, value of CA certificate etc.. But slowly the boat will steady.

UPSC karke kya karega? Salaaam marega? UPSC is much much tougher life. They will put you in an office with a single table fan and thousands of notices and give you some dumb assistants who will be 30 yrs older than you. What did you expect from UPSC - laaal batti etc.. Look at the case of Ashok Khemka. He himself has told in an interview that if you expect a good life in services 'pl don't join'.

So instead of jumping around aimlessly (because I doubt your doing upsc because of passion for services) take time off and do a reality check.

I was not expecting a very good job after CA but i was sure that i would get a decent job but i am not getting it . This is very frustrating . And rahi baat achi zindagi jeene ki to main aisi kisi khwahsish me nai hu . I knw i have to work hard for earning a single penny .There is cut throat competition . But the thing is ki i dont want to sit idle as i hate sitting idle . I am not a dummy and completed my articleship with due respect to the institute . I want some opportunities for showcasing my talent and than learn and experience new things which i am not getting

my advise is to take the job, gain work experience.. rather than sitting at home and worrying like this.
