Friends,

I passed my CPT in 3rd attempt, IPCC failed thrice and failed once in T.Y.B.Com. exams as well. Ah! Don't laugh.

Today I have done direct entry to IPCC conversion and am still determined to do CA. Thing is I am not dumb. I have been to UN's conferences on my own merit, I have written papers on Economics for newspapers, and much more. I know so much about finance and economics nobody believes my Academia are so low. My laziness is the reason I am not able to convert into marks.

I have some solid references that can get me into KPMG in no time.

So as usual all my friends and even references have threatened me with long working hours at KPMG and they very well know I don't really work that long ever. 'Cos of long hours I have not joined tuition in my entire life.

Is it really that bad at KPMG? Will I be tortured so bad? Are they really as mean as people talk about? Do they GENERALLY work till 9PM? 12AM would reach only during audit periods, wouldn't they? But I am willing to join but if it is that inhuman, I should just rethink, shouldn't I ?
