Gourav Battoo (CA Final ) (148 Points)

15 February 2011

Hello friends

My name is Gourav and my age is 22 and will turn 23 this july.. I have completed my BCom (H) in 2010.. my carrer objective is to became successful.

I joined CA a little late and I failed in my first attempt NOV10.. as I joined the course late I went for both the groups and even of my hard work I failed…I have decided to clear this time in MAY11

My problem is that my CA final will be due in MAY 2014 and by the time my age will be 26 when the result comes out. I am at a peak age and failing at this stage will hamper my career.

I have also interest in doing MBA(Finance) and planning do it from a decent B-school, but I am confused when should I do? I am too nervous about my career..please suggest me what should I do?

Don't worry about age, your aim is only become a CA . UCO bank selection list shown one of the CA's year of bort is 1976

Gourav i feel you pursue ca only if you are a exceptionally good student.If you take 2 3 attempts in your ca final exam it shall be very difficult for you to get a good job in industry .even after those attempts big 4 will take you but i fear not many chartereds prefer big4 audit.(taxation being an exception)

if you are interested in finance then think twice about ca.Because the more the number of attempts the lessor the chances of getting good jobs.Even in the campus chartereds with 3 attempts or 4 attempts are recruited for salaries around 4 lakhs.

Meet some people who have done ca and consult them.

As per my view go for it only if u are a good student.Else you will land up in a soup.(Industry exploits multi attempt cas)

Common dude.... if you pass CA by 26, you'll be well below the average age of qualified CA... there are still many guys who are doing CA who well beyond 30s...

So forget about these dumb issues and pass first...

There is no problem even you pass CA at 26 years.If you have strong subject knoledge u can start practice as Chartered Accountant.And most of the firms are recruiting CAs even above 26 years also.
