I am new to this forum and I am really glad that i got to interact with some great professionals here. So the main takeaway for me from this discussion  is that I SHOULD FOCUS ON MY EXAMS RIGHT NOW. This reminds me of Rancho's famous dialogue from 3 Idiots "Kabil bano  Kabil, Kamyaabi jhak maarke piche ayegi" !   Thanks to each and everyone for replying . Will get back with more queries relating to exams . All the Best to all. My query is resolved now.

Good luck...you have done it before ..so be positive and get going.

Dear Rupma and all my freinds please click on this link below i hope that the way you think will be changed after reading the story of Mrs. Patrica narayan.

Dear Rumpa I personally think that it all depends upon you to resume CA or not. You should have fire in your belly to do CA. Pls dont worry abt job because a CA can easily get a job.

Rupma. It is s sad that you r asking such questions even after completing CS. Worrying about age, over worrying about job, obsessed with campus placements are Ok if you are a fresher who has just cleared professional exams but if you are already a professional this is not an encouraging thought. Makes me wonder how much professionalism our professionals have, there are many such qualified ppl. with similar mindset. Maybe like someone asked in this forum ( in a different. Post) that's y we don't hv many ca cs cma entrepreneurs! Dear Rupma think.like a fin. professional. Complete your exams and when u apply for jobs it won't be that difficult. Like a friend suggested here, be confident and don't worry so much. Remember you are already a qualified CS. All the best.

Hi rumpa

Its really appreciable the fact that even after doing a job having 1 professional degree you want to come back and complete the 2nd degree.

if you complete in first attempt u will be considered as a first attempt. Also u have a 2nd degree and relevant work ex . i would be surprised if u cant command 65 to 70 k per month.

Anyways best of luck . first things first u must pass in this attempt.

Cheers

Guys I am not demotivating anyone or setting a bad example , I am sure I will be a woman Director someday with a private jet and 2 apartments at Beverly Hills ..!  

Why do u wanna live in beverly hills... :p why not pali hills bandra or lutyens colony new delhi.. haha..

Well everybody is apprehensive at the initial stages of one's career. The person who had raised this query is still at the starting point of her career as a CA. Of course as you say she is in a better position than a normal CA fresher, having some work experience and a professional degree already in hand. But yet she is in the initial stages of her career and it is quite natural she is a tad anxious. I dont see how it impacts one's professionalism.

And for your kind info, we have a large pool of CA entrepreneurs in India. A few examples of companies set up by CAs are CRISIL, HDFC, Axis Risk Consulting(later on taken over by Genepact),Emami,KPIT Cummins,etc. The entrepreneurs with an engineering/management background shall still outnumber the CA entrepreneurs. But that is only due to the fact that the total no CAs is very less compared to the engineering/management graduates. If we instead compare the CA entreprenuers with the engineering/management graduates in percentage terms(No. of CA entreprenuers/Total no of CAs x 100   Vs. No. of engineering or management entrepreneurs/Total no. of engineering or management graduates x 100), we will get a much better idea about how CAs perform as entrepreneurs in comparison to engineers and management graduates. To be honest, entrepreneurship is a personal choice and doesnt have much to do with one's educational background. Of course the exposure we get in our colleges/articleship firms(for people with CA background) and interaction with fellow students having an entrepreneurial bent will have a certain impact. But ultimately it boils down to individual interest. 

Thx. JITHIN for the additional info on Ca entrepreneurs. In all our 3 institutions we hear the word professionalism frequently, but passed candidates behave like graduates when they come to the job market. Makes me wonder, are we all actually thinking like professionals? One such example was the way Rumpa seemed overly concerned about placement n hence my comment. If these courses don't increase our confidence and don't give us good placement opportunities are they worth the effort?! Point to ponder....

I do not have to prove my professionalism to anyone here. I thought CCI would be a proper platform to share my concern and I did . I didnt realise worrying about my career /placements etc would make  me sound unprofessional .Anyways everybody has a right to express their thoughts so It doesnt bother me much. Thanks all

Hey guys and girls

I think it is absolutely unacceptable that a few of you are judging rumpa on the fact that she is worried about her job prospects. Her worry is genuine and nobody has the right to question or worry about her personal selections.

 

we are here at CCI to encourage and push our fellow members in the right direction so that they achieve there goals and make friends on there way.

 

My word to rumpa dont be discouraged by people judging you. you have selected a path for yourself and you are doing pretty well on it . so relax and forge your way ahead.

 

cheers

Hi Aarthi, our views on professionalism are definitely different. I dont consider the concern or anxiousness shown by somebody on the issue of getting a good job thru campus as lack of professionalism. If u regard this as a violation of professionalism, you wont be able to find even a single professional on earth, or atleast in India! Pls go to forums like pagalguy and u will realise how anxious, and in your own words, how overly concerned, are the MBA passouts from IIMs and other premier institututes. It is the same with professionals from all streams. Everybody as a fresher is anxious about his/her future. 

 

You are entitled to your own opinions and I respect your views(although I dont concur with those). But lets not pinpoint a specific individual. Who are we to judge Rumpa or for that matter anybody else individually(purely based on a post in the forum)??. If you want to discuss about how our professionalism is affected by the current crop of CA freshers' attitude towards campus placements, pls open a seperate thread for that purpose. That way we can discuss without hurting anybody.

Hi Rumpa you are the best judge of yourself and, as you say, you dont have to prove your professionalism to any of us. None of us know you personally and how on earth can we talk about your professionalism and confidence level! Just ignore such comments. I am sure you are going to have a great career. All the Best for your final exams and the career ahead.
