When we join the CA course after 12th, we don't actually know the efforts involved in CA or Bank PO exam. After spending 4 years we realize, CA involves in depth study and expert knowledge, while it is not so in a bank po exam. But still bank PO enjoys handsome package. The only negative point in Bank PO is for every 1 seat, there are around 1000 applications. So competition is much more as compared to CA. Overall one can say Bank PO is better choice. But i will say it is a different kind of field. So when one wants to go in competition exams then he should not do CA and should try for various competition exam like Bank PO, LIC, RBI, IAS etc. At the stage of CA final its difficult to quit CA and also it is difficult to appear for competition exam along with CA. So continue your CA.

Yes the low salary of an average CA is something disappointing. But by focusing on few things you can make yourself marketable. 1) Good communication and english skills 2) Practical understanding of subjects and general awareness of corporate sector. 3) A post qualification course of ICAI, in which you are interested. Remember one most important thing that Life is not always FARE. so it's not necessary that if you have put much efforts as compared to someone else, you should be rewarded more. Sad but True fact of life. This is normal in life that sometimes you get more than you deserve and it get adjusted when you sometimes get less than you deserve.

No. it is just a thought that came to my mind. That we CAs put much efforts as compared to those of competition exams but we don't get that much reward. So i want to know your views on this.

If you want jobs in bank after becoming a CA,then there are are opportunities there too. Although bank PO is general job,IBPS also recruits specialist officers in Finance for which CA is a compulsory qualification and salary and growth prospects are better than bank POs. If you are talking about competitive exams CAs have lots of opportunities there too. Every PSU recruits CAs through their all India tests in which competition is much less compared to Bank PO. In hindi we say " Dur k dhol suhane lagte hai". Last time when SBI was recruiting POs,competition was 1500;1. And dont forget that there are people who have left their jobs to prepare for Bank PO exams andalso the other set who is preparing for competitive exams for a Clerk to Civils,all of them sit for this exam.

If you want government job,complete your CA,there are plethora of options like PSUs, Banks and in the end POs is available even then. Its not like CAs are not getting job,it is just that people who are not getting jobs are more vocal than ever.

No 2 fields can be compared...there are many CA's doing job in banks or other govt. institutions...merely passing CA cant guarantee you high salary...its not the degree, but your capabilityand bit luck which will give you a career...bank has different type of environment and bank exam is competitive whereas CA exam is not a competitive exam...Bank PO is a job...CA is an educational qualification...and CA's enjoy very high packages...its only that not EVERY CA enjoy high package...you are 25 so i think you can still continue with your CA if you dont have any professional problem...and remember no field is perfect...every year thousands of bank PO'S resign and every year hundred of Civil Servants also resign...so ultimately its your satisfaction and happiness which matters.

If you ask me I'll suggest you to continue with your CA unless you have financial constraints or on a lighter note your gf wants to settle down with you. At this point it seems you've chip in lots of time & efforts & needless to say $$. Drifting away for a quick job is no good. Lastly, age is just a no. If I were you I'd shut off all my thoughts & focus only on my upcoming ca exams. Do you think the phrase "CA has no future' holds good? Used by many to hire fresh CAs at low salary.

its depend on you... if you like to do job in govt sector then competition exam is good if you want to take a professional degree than cs is best for you after that you can also do a govt sector job as a cs..

BY COMPLETING CA YOU CAN TRY OTHER PUBLIC SECTOR COMPANIES TOO NAMELY POWERGRID CORPORATION,GAIL,HPCL,ONGC,FURTHER YOU HAVE MANY OPTIONS AS COMPARED TO BANK PO

Hi everyone. Now a days 'Future of CA' is like common topic on CAclubinda. When students get failed or freshers don't get job, they loose confident. but i too suffering from same kind of problem.

I cleared my ipcc in 4 attempts. have appered for final 4 time but still not cleared. age 25.

After spending so much time in CA, i am not a CA. and even if i become CA now, what will be my salary? Since i took so many attempts to clear CA and also my my articleship exposure was not good.

Recently SBI bank po vacancy came out. I think there is starting salary of around 35000. I know that it is a competition exam but still given the easy syllabus of bank po exam, i feel like, why i am doing ca. By putting so much efforts in Bank Po exam, i can easily make it to pass.

If you can through some light on both the fields CA and govt job like bank PO, it will help me to get confidence. And why a CA doesn't enjoy that high package even though he had studied more than a Banks PO?
