the second option mentioned by you should be adopted.
Else there is no meaning of undergoing articleship if its not considered as an experience.
PEHLE CA CLUB INDIA PAR SAB KEHTE THE ....
DO UR ARTICLESHIP SERIOUSLY.....U WILL LEARN A LOT...... WHICH WAS TRUE....
We put in hard efforts and pains to complete articleship just as we do to clear CA
KOI KEHTA HAI JAHAN ARTICLE KI WAHAN HI JOB KAR LO...BUT WOH BOSS KEHTA HAI... JAB MUJHE 1000 ME 10 MIL RAHE HAI....TOH 10000 WALA EK KYU RAKKHU? WOH BHI SAHI HAI.... AAJ SABKO COST CUTTING KARNI PADTI HAI....
These corporates MNCS just want a reason to escape hiring a right candidate by giving excuses and not considering articleship as experience.
job posts now a days have crossed and exceeded all limits & heights of SHAME
It was acceptable even if they previously said they want a CA but now a days they have changed it to CA + 3 or 4 years POST QUALIFICATION EXPERIENCE..
this means they want a CA who cleared in 2007 or 2008 who may have such experience... and there is hardly any chance that his / her experience also would match the said descripttttions in Job post
So If this goes on one can imagine when the CAs that clear today in 2013 will get a chance, ??? in 2015 or 2016?? Till then what? sit at home?
Had we joined CA to sit at home? what abt the dreams? what abt the fact that we were being told always by our seniors and parents? that beta 4-5 saal padh lo acche se.... sab SACRIFICE kar ke...fir toh bas acchi si JOB join kar ke life set?? Who is responsible for whats happening today?
Additionally, beyond these drama, they have started cutting CTC & ARE QUOTING ONLY 1.5-2.5 LACS IN CITIES
Dont know where this will lead us...
Classes have made big monies by now.... apni life set ho na ho... unki ho gai hai....
we are still struggling....
M NOT THINKING NEGATIVE...BUT TURN UR HEAD LEFT OR RIGHT AND U WILL FIND EVERY SUCH CA INTER PERSON WHO STRUGGLES TO GET A JOB THAT HELPS HIM RUN HIS HOUSEHOLD EXPENSE... 5000-10000 ME GHAR NAI CHALTE... ELECTRICITY & FOOD COST HI ITNI HAI....
KUCH LOG KEHENGE.... WHO SAID SO? BOHOT OPPORTUNITIES HAI.... NAUKRI TIMES SAB PE PROFILE UPDATE KARO...U WILL GET MANY JOBS IN A MONTH OR SO.... TALK TO SENIOR CA FRIENDS ETC....UNKI COMPANY ME JOB HO TO
BUT THE POINT IS..... NO BODY WILL DO IT FOR U......
U JUST ASK SUCH ADVICE GIVERS...TO GET A JOB FOR U....IF THEY HAVE ONE.... I BET THEY WONT REPLY.... KEHENGE CV BHEJ....THEN THEY WILL SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR & NEVER ANSWER UR CALLS... BECOZ GIVING ADVICE IS EASIER THAN HELPING...TRULY
EVEN NEWLY QUALIFIEDS ARE STRUGGLING....
ITS A CYCLE NOW...
CLEAR KARO TOH JOB NAHI.... JOB HAI TOH SALARY NAHI... APPLY KARO TOH CALL NAHI....
NO DOUBT CA IS A GREATEST PROFESSION AND WILL ALWAYS STAY GREATEST...CLEARING CA IS A MATTER OF PROUD... EVERY ONE IS PROUD TO DO IT....BUT STUDENTS & QUALIFIED PPL ARE TODAY CAUGHT BETWEEN THE CUNNING CORPORATE WORLD POLITICS AND HARDLY GET A CHANCE TO PROVE THEMSELVES - THAT HOW MUCH THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE TO OUR SOCIETY....
SILLY HR MANAGERS POST JOBS & DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT ARTICLESHIP TEACHES US & WHAT KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE AND WITHOUT EVEN TALKING TO US THEY REJECT OUR APPLICATIONS...SAYING AISE TOH BOHOT AATE HAI....AND DONT EVEN CONSIDER IT
BUT ITS A BIITTER FACT THAT WITH TIME......EXPECTATIONS INCREASE.... BUT OPPORTUNITIES DONT AT SAME SPEED....AND DISAPPOINTMENTS & PRESSURES LEAD A PERSON INTO CIRCUMSTANCES THAT EVEN HAVING SUCH A GREAT DEGREE ONE HAS TO SOMETIMES LAND INTO A PETTY PACKAGED JOB....
AND ALTERNATELY PRACTICE KARE TOH CLIENTS NAHI....
WE ARE READY TO TAKE UP CHALLENGES ITS NOT THAT WE ARE SCARED... IF WE WERE SCARED WE WUD NEVER TAKE UP CA.....AND WUD HAVE JOINED AT SOME XYZ PLACE AFTER BCOM...
BUT ITS A MESSAGE TO ALL THOSE CORPORATES WHO FOLLOW IGNORANCE.... CA PROFESSION WILL ALWAYS STAY HIGH... NO MATTER HOW MUCH DIFFICULTIES WE GO THROUGH....WE WONT LET EVEN A SINGLE PERSON TO HURT ITS IMAGE OR REPUTATION....
EVEN RATAN TATA SAYS.... ANY ONE CAN RUN A BUSINESS....BUT A CA ONLY CAN TEACH HIM HOW TO DO BUSINESS.....
ICAI IS OUR MOTHER AND MOTHER TAKES CARE OF HER CHILD ALWAYS.....COME WHAT MAY!!
