Hi!!

I'm doing my articleship from a big four.. its been almost 2 and a half year's that i'm working in a big four... the work pressure here is too much coz of which i'm not able to concentrate on my studies and m not able to clear my PCC.. i also have my TYB.Com exam in april,2010.. my leave has been utilised and i wont be getting any further extension...

because of the transfer rule i cant even take transfer nor can i do Industrial training...

only option left with me is that i quit CA.. which i dont wanna do as i really aspire to become a CA...

please help me... is there anyway out of this?

Don't quit the course just because of small reason as you have already spent 2 and Half years and only 1 year is to go so be patient and wait for the articleship to get over meanwhile you can contetrate on u studies as and when you get time it's about how u manage ur time

Piyush is right! You have already spent 2 1/2 precious years by way of articleship. Two and half years is quite a lot of time! I believe you must have gained immense knowledge during this period. Be Patient enough to complete it.

As far as Bcom exams are concerned you don't need to be worried. Many friends of mine have been in your position, and today they are highly successful in their careers.

Good days are ahead of you!

All the best!!!

maintain a balance between ur work hours, study hours and sleeping hours. Spend 8 hours gross for each of the three.Do articleship for gaining knowledge and study books for striving towards excellence.Being a CA student, possess two things- patience and hardwork. If u follow these things, forget abt quitting, u r bound to become a Chartered Accountant.Best of Luck!!!

I was studied in next to my home town where there was no chartered accountants in my place. I lost all my study times in travel. I could not complete my CA Inter within the Article period. I completed CA Inter while doing job by dedicating 3 hrs in a day after working hrs.

I believe, in confident that I CAN DO.. Now I am doing CA Final, CWAI Inter and planning to join CS as well.

I am sure, that I can be successful one day on my study life.

DO NOT THINK THAT WE LOST EVERYTHING WHEN WE MISSED ON TARGET.

TRY AGAIN AND CONTINUE TO STUDY.

I hope you understood above real example.

And I know a person has completed CA after writing 7 times CA Inter and 5 times CA final. Can you match with him where are you?

Try single group at a time......then it will not have much burden on you. And 1 month leave is enough for preparing for 1 group.

Don't quit CA.

Hi Arpita!

I just want to say that it was you who chose to go to Big4 & not to a mediocre ca firm. Ya work pressure is definitely there but you will get the benefit also. Just another 1 year to go. Utilise the resources that you have to the fullest. Don't take tension for B.com. Many of the subjects are common in both the courses.

The pressure u r talking about is jst the pressure u r suffering from being in the training period.

U said u aspired to become C.A. after becoming C.A., u hve to take much more pressure than this...

There is no use doing something if it doesn't take hell out of u. becoz' ultimately, the thing rubbed u a lot will pay u off..... The reasons told by u holds no merit if u took the course knowing all these circumstances b4.

Sit silently, and think whats going wrong. sometimes we shud not take the work seriously. Nvr get overburdened by the situation. Nothing is unbeatable except ur own self. Its not that their is pressure in ur work or in ur situation, but its that u r feeling pressure. Stop feeling pressure and it will go. Try manage everything. it will pain u but ultimately, u see, no pains is no gains. We all hve passed thro' these time. i agreee joing big 4 do created some burden of being good in studies, but these things shudn't be taken serously. Just mind ur aim, and every thing else will follow.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEST OF LUCK...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
