If you compare yourself with others, you are insulting yourself.

If somebody says that why you not earing much, or why are you still struggling, dont answer them with your word of mouth, be silent, your sucess will give answer to them..

But due to diz May 2011 result i have seen my CA friends unemployed for several months and now employed in relatively low package.   I am unable to sleep at night.   Plz suggest. me what to do??   I am badly depressed.

Buddy you are only 23 year old, think about those giving examination again and again not clearing CA Final and have crossed 30 years. So you are better of than those.

As you have raise ? on the prospect of the chartered accountant in future, I would like to tell you think like a professional, not like an employee of some reputed organisation, you have deep understanding of business.

I will tell you, if you dont get an opportunity in a big organisation, that is also not a big problem. It may hurt you in initial year, but you have capacity to read and write. There are lot many field for chartered accountant, if you become expert in one of the field you will have abundance of opportunity with you.

One thing which you may also have noted, there are acute shortage of expert in our profession, there are more chartered accountant in our profession but they behave like a employee of some organisation just meeting their routine job and hoping some day he will promoted.

But all the above require patience and regular study with an expert eye, it may take only 2-3 years to become expert in any one of field like Direct Tax, Indirect Tax, Audit & Assurance, Financial Management etc etc you may addon there are number service which you can offer

Be positive, Belive in yourself, now you are no more a child, you are professional , expert of various field fo business,

We will have a bright future definitely....

Hi, no need to worry. Packages are based on individual capacity. So, dont compare it on basis of degrees.

Just work hard. Focus on study. Don't think negative.

Try to divert your mind in positive directions(like entertainments) whenever negative thinking disturbs you.

We belong to profession where we have to face regular amendments in laws. Dont treat it as a weakness. In fact, these amendments are our assets bcz these depicts our true value.

For now, you concentrate on your syllabus.

And remember, every bad thinking has an end....so end it ....beleive in GOD. Think about parents and your target.

Hi Uma,

Dont worry about your self. Dont compare you with any one in this world.

Problem 1: Your friends earning more than you.They finished their Degrees ur going to finish CA Profession soon. for Salary comparison CA's start with slow phase initially but once they pick up speed in earnings no one cannot stop them. but u need to believe ur self.

Problem 2 : Changes in IFRS/Schedule 13/Direct tax code etc.. we need to upgrade with changes in system & syllabus. even your Andriod smart phone asks for updations for applications which you downloaded. This is the best opportunity for you to groom too much in New updations. You need to follow what ICAI set syllabus for May exams only.Now a days there are too many professional but specialist in particular area are few.

Problem 3: Learn from their mistakes and take their lessons on why they didnot get jobs. First fore most you need to focus on CA finals which are hardly 4 months away from now. After exams you can learn good soft skills and interview cracking techniques in various sources.

Dont worry UMA if you focus on your CA now you can rock in this world. Now a days CA's are in high demand in across globe. I'm also experienced same problems in my life also. i'm 30 still in CA final both group. since 2004 i'm working for top notch Co. when ever i see my friends photos in Face book with their brand New car or their Onsite pics i wont feel bad i will motivate myself to clear CA quickly and grab good Job. 

All the Best
