i've cleared P.E-2's first grp & appeared for second grp & will be pursuing my articleship in a month or so,pls tell me whether i shd go for big 4's if i do get admission there,the prob i'm thinkin abt is that i've heard that there working timings are very strict & they they give only three and a half months 4 prep's & i don't think its possible to take tuitons at that time bcoz it'll b the time 4 self studies & not 4 tiutons.pls advise me..

Dear ,
Try to join Big four if possible.... See life is tough there but NO PAIN NO GAIN.
Don't just think of Your exams but also think of future........ You can prepare within 3.5 months.
ok thank you but pls tell how shd i plan & go abt it...
Dear, there are 2.5 Years in between...... try to study in that period....specially AS/Tax AAS/SAPs...be sure you will be able to manage it like all others in those firms..... Majority of people study in leave period only and std. leave period is 3.5-4 months everywhere.
Be Careful and cautious. Dont get taken in by the biggies and the people in these firms who consider themselves important. Also please understand that contrary to what you may be thinking much of the work here will be similar to what you do in small or mid sized firms. Sometimes it may even happen that you MAY waste 3 years in these big 4 firms simply vouching!!. and again most of the time its the so called 'smartness' , appearance (if you know what I mean) and of coz good english is what counts to being on a prestigious audit. So if you are above average, have a good personality, can speak good english go ahead. But be cautious!! Best of Luck
hey
read the reply's above
wen is started mt articleship ,i was in the same dilemna,but decided to go for a mid sized firm ,cause at the end of the day wat matters is clearing ur exams in the first attempt & if u cant do tat waz the use of joinin big 4's & above all mid sized firms give u gud exposure & one doesnt end up just vouching for 3 yrs.
guys this is a personal opinion & no harm intended !!!lol :)
