I maybe wrong, but I feel that In Campus, the first lot to get shortlisted would be the people who are maximum short in supply. The sequence is like this - first its CA rankers + Big 4, then its the Rankers, then its the Big 4 and then first attempt and so on.

Considering the above, my suggestion is that you join a big 4 immediately, or wait for 2-3 months, then go for the 3 months residential program of ICAI and then do industrial training for the last 12 months. I am sure a lot of people would argue that if you go to big 4 or industiral training your studies would get affected. However, I would like to say that I work in a big 4 and we have had approx over 50 people getting ranks in FInal and PCC this november. There are people who have worked in big 4 and manage to make it in top 10. If they can do it, so can we.

Think positive and wishing you good luck.

hi,

i think u shall first complete ur coaching classes first as early as possible because if u switch over to another gud firm u will not get time to attend ur classes properly.there would be work pressure.... and if once u complete ur classes then atleast one of ur problem get solved and u wil get gud exposure in gud firm.....

both things matters for ur campus .......first u must have a degree most probably passed in first attempt ....... and gud working experience also....

so wishing u all the best .......

do gud and the decesion is urs......

Hi Akanksha

I would suggest that you should change ur firm... n join some midsize firm for ur articleship...

yes agreed that then you will have to manage between ur office hrs nd classes... but still the amount of exposure nd practical training u vl get at this point of time is equally essential for a good CA. Thats how all of us manage to do.. After all once turned CA people have set a minimum standard of experience that a CA should know... Take your call

hi

i my opinion first u complete your coaching, and after that if u donot have any financial problem, then sit & study for ca final aiming RANK in SINGLE DIGIT, if u get that your article experience your presentation skill are will be overtaken by that credit .

and i can tell you one thing ,u should decide yourself weather u want to go to practice or job in future,

if it of practice i can suggest you that sit &study clear final and join in big 4 or most likely in a medium size firm ok then after getting some experience you can establish your own practice

if it is job dont look back sit & study get a rank and try a excellent job either in campus or off campus

so any way to build a future like this first you should be a chartered accountant first

so at this juncture i suggest you dont change that small firm and use the extra time to study after completing coachinng and get success, in big firms you may get more work but no time to study , ok

I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST

Hi,

Keep one thing in mind, Knowledge can be gained even after getting Qualified as CA, Its a never ending process.

For all your wishes to become true first u must get qualified later u can think of joining to big Four or practicing on your own.

So to qualify u hav clear exams. U hav to compromise to get some thing valuable.

All the very best.

I appreciate the views of everyone in the forum. I also appreciate the fact that studies and exams are very important and that getting a rank is a good thing.

But, ignoring other aspects of career is never a good idea. There is no law in this world that states that rankers always do well than non-rankers or CA's always do better than non-CA's. Knowledge/Earnings are to be attributed to personal efforts. Marks, Degrees, Ranks just show that candidate was given a particular task i.e. to cracck the exam and he did it sincerely at that point of time. It doesn't give guarantee of same sincerity in future for some other work as well.

Warren Buffet once said that if past performance is an indicator of future performance than the richest persons on the earth should have been only Librans,

My point is that....having a good brand name with you is equally important. Intepersonal skills, good networking skills and networks are more important. We all have seen the articleship scenario. There are so many people who cleared in first attempt with ranks, some of them didnt manage to get in the firm they wanted. I know many rankers who wanted to be in big 4 but never managed to get in. Imagine, that rank which couldn't help one to get articleship, what miracles will it do? Whereas there are people who have failed several times, they have good networks and they can manage to get anywhere they want. And its not that these kind of things dont happen in Industry. Its the more or less the same case later on as well.

Wishing you all good luck for exams and life.
