Hi Devi,

I would suggest students to do articleship in Big Four..The unique feature about Big Four firms is that in this era of globalisation ,top companies expand geographically ,in every industry and they require the services of audit firms which are conversant with the laws and regulations of many countries.So Big companies opt for Big Four.

I am working in one of the Big Four firms and I have seen article assistants gaining a great amount of clientele exposure.Infact,you get to know about the practicality of the subjects you are learning in your CA course.

You always stand an opportunity to work with highly qualified professionals and learn from their experiences.Another notable feature about Big Four is that you have to slog like anything but then this inculcates the hardworking quality and paves a fantastic career for the students.
