Hello all,

I have given IPCE May'10 attempt,Both Groups. I have some questions regarding articleship,Please suggest your valuable opinions-

1. Are Big4's good, if we want best work exposure in all kind of work fields not only in single field?

2. If big4's are not good,then should i go to Mumbai or to Delhi for the firms ranked after Big4's like GT?

Please answer theses questions taking in consideration of the following points-

a. The variety of work exposure.

b. Stipend

c. expenditure on Accomodation etc. (as I am from middle class)

there is no doubt on that

Big4's are best for work exposure, they provide u stipend around Rs. 8000/- in ur 1st year of articleship and it increases year after year. The stipend do not include for ur accomodation , though they provide u the facility of CAB in exchange for deducting some Rs. 1000/- p.m. from ur stipend.

firms ranked after BIG4 are gd too, and work exposure is almost same but other facilities lk high stipend is provided by them

yes they may not change ur working profile. But lots of students keeps come from small cities to delhi afford accomodation, manage their life. Why dont you try for the same....try hard, think positively then take decision that wat u want. Bcoz there will be lots of strugle which u have to bear......

i hv an advice

join the big4 first

now it is allowed to take transfer in the 1st year of ur articleship training, u cn apply to another big4 firm and jst leave ur 1st firm

then

in the last year of ur training u cn trf urself to, for the industrial training

This will give u a lot of xperinence and ur resume will include the name of the diff. big4 firms which will help u in future for finding much better jobs.

if u really lk my advice, atleast thanx me and increas ur scorecard
