Rite now i am thinking of going for a practice, since a local ca firm has offered me a job with a package of 3 lac. I intend to go for job with the ca firm rite now for gaining experience and say after around 2 years join a bigger firm for broader experience.

instead of sitting idle you can decide to go with a CA firm for practice, but where excactly lies your interest working in a CA firm or working in companies/ MNC.

And if CA people become depressed because of not getting job then what about B.Com graduates.

Hi,

Ya sure you can join in a CA firm as it will help you in your coming days. Doing a course while working is also a very good thought. Please go ahead.

@ Poonam: If you want to start your practice as early as possible, then you are going in the right direction i.e., going for employment in a CA Firm for a few years.

As far additional course is concerned, why don't you make you of ICAI's MOU with ICAEW and become a member of ICAEW! (https://www.icai.org/post.html?post_id=3699)

Hello friends, I am Harsh I work in a small firm, I dont have much experience as far as internal audit goes and i also dont have any experience of working in any big limited Co. So does the industry consider all these factors while hiring employees and does getting a rank in CA final compensate for it. Plz help on this issue if anyone can..Thanks :)

Dont think too big Mam...........This is hiring season...........Join CA firm.......You can leave CA firm whenever you want.......Its not a big issue...............Keep attending calls and there is a chance you would surely get it in a month or two..............or else continue and keep updating your knowledge..............

We are chartered accountants and the designation is itself fine. Please dont forget what you have learned..........NO SAP or any thing else for that matter..............Learn changes and also keep updated with your subjects.

ALL THE BEST
