Hello friends,

I am in a fix right now and hope you all will help me decide.

I had recently qualified and was placed in a respectable PSU.  Owing to a very generous supervision & very light workload, i happen to manage quite a time for myself. So i was thinking may be i could do something with this time. What i want from you is to suggest as to what should i do.....i have some in mind...CISA, DISA, Law, CS, CWA.....quite a spectrum isn't it?:) Having said that, i must also mention that, i do not intend to leave my current job in future due to obvious reasons.!!

Or should i enjoy as it is??(Well it is a very pleasent phase, i must say)!!

I suggest you to learn the corporate work than trying for other course... yes additional course is required in current market situation but work experience is more important than the number of degrees... I did mistake by nit concentrating fully on my work and domain which make me think bad about myslef in wasting time in thinking about other courses... during the interview ur experience is more important...

CS ans CWA are manageable...they willn not consume much of your tym......you just need to give the exams......with very little study leave

no idea abt the rest of the courses mentioned

Congratulations for becoming a Chartered Accountant and for your employment...My preference in your case is to go for CS or CISA...subject to your time allocation and leaves..I do agree with Khusboo and Ankit..but become a double qualified before getting married..all the best for your career

Agree with Shankar, dont; pursue any course 2-3 years, just try to get the good practical exposure, otherwise there is no need of degree.

There are many courses which you can pursue with CA or CS. However the choice and decision depends upon many factors like one’s own interest, cost, duration, time devotion etc. depending upon your circumstances. In this regard I’d suggest you to explore your own interest and then decide what you want to do in future.

 

Some of the options available are:



1. CS, ICWA, CFA (US), CMA(UK). These are Long term duration with more than 3 years.



2. CPA, CFP, CIA, CISA etc. are medium term duration depending upon the devotion and your level of knowledge.



3. Further there are many certification programmes like, CIFRS, NCFM, CMA (US) etc. NCFM course is conducted by the Indian Stock Exchanges and concerned with security market.



The combination of CA+CFA is good in case the interest is for Investment banking and Portfolio Management.



The combination of CA+CPA is also a good one in case interest is in Accounting and Auditing field.



The Combination of CA+CS is also good. With this combination you will be able to handle Secretarial deptt along with Account and finance deptt. It is also very helpful to take top chances to work with top management.

 

Thanks
