 PLEASE SENIOR CAs  ENLIGHTEN ME WITH YOUR EXPERIENCES ABOUT THE FIELDS AVAILABLE FOR A CA TO SPECIALISE IN.......... I WANT TO DECIDE IT NOW, SO THAT I COULD SET MY MIND AND PREPARE FOR IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE....WITH GOD'S GRACE  AND MY HARD WORK, IF I CLEAR MY EXAMS IN THE VERY FIRST ATTEMPT, I DONT WANT TO BE THE ONE ANSWERING  THE INTERVIEWER THAT I WOULD LIKE TO GO IN BLABLA(ANY) FIELD GIVING fake reasons(whereas i want to be there becoz it would pay me well)  

 i dont want to specialise in any field which initially pays me well but which i might regret some years later that i could have been in that field, that was my interest but i didnt because i was not getting paid right. When i want to specialise, that means i Would be giving a big part of my life just to expertise in it and to make sure i get better and better........Pay would automatically rise wink

Following are the fields that i know and am also writing the details and my perspective about it. Please correct me if i am wrong.

 

Direct TAX- According to me its the most common field. Every CA has more or less the same knowledge about it, so whats to specialise... besides many people pursue LLB. specialising in taxation. Thats disturbing to me. Its like THATS MY FIELD,WE CAs ARE UNIQUE, YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE OUR CLIENTS.

I also want to know about the International taxation, its exposure and how one can get an exposure in there...

same with the Corporate Taxation- No Idea

ACCOUNTS-  Is that really a field???? I Love Accounts and guess every CA student does... But i have heard many people saying "ACCOUNTS FIELD"  thts the basic accounting...so whats the specialisation about....and how would it differ from being" ACCOUNTANT".

ISCA- I guess thts related to Computerised internal system audit, i want to know about it but i have got not details.

IDT-  No Idea

BANK- I want to know why the Bank Hire CAs??? Whats their job Actually? If Anyone working in bank. please share your experience
