For getting job in big 4

This query is : Resolved 

24 November 2013 hi,
I m final ca student appeared in November 2013, I want to apply for job in big 4 ca firm in Mumbai. can u help me out with procedure and criteria?

24 November 2013 Go on web portal of all big four and upload your CV. They wil call you

24 November 2013 dear pravin,

it is advisable that you send in your cv through someone who is already working at Big4 firm. that speeds up the process.

24 November 2013 Agree with Expert,

The way to apply to Big4:

1) ICAI BoS Articleship Placement Portal https://bosapp.icai.org/

2) Most often the Big4 firms put out the application for articleship on the local ICAI office notice board – so one can apply through it

3) Direct deposit of application form to their office. Its often wiser method to get telephone number of such firm and try to speak to the articleship recruitment dept. In some firms, one can meet the HR people, but in others, one may not be let inside their office!

4) Application through email

5) If you know some CA who is working in such firm, then that may be a good route to apply.

A few things to remember about Big 4

In India, the Big 4 is a tag for the Big Consultancy firm on a worldwide basis. However from the articleship perspective, one should remember that each of such firms have different CA firms attached to them. It is these CA firms where one would be doing articleship.

Now, these CA firms may have the same name as the Big4 or may have different name.
So for example one of the Firms related to E&Y is SR Batliboi & Co etc, similarly one of the CA Firm attached toKPMG is BSR & Co, for Deloitt one is AF Furguson & Co.

In PwC, the firms attached go by the name of PriceWaterHouse and Lovelock & Lewis. Now, even PriceWaterHouse is not one firm – but there are 7 to 8 different CA Firms in different cities in India that go by this same name of PriceWaterHouse! So PwC in Delhi may be pretty different than that in Bangalore!

Moreover such firms may even be Proprietorship! One of the firms that go by name of LoveLock & Lewis is Proprietorship! – but then these are Big!

Another thing to remember, that while in a Big4 firm, at a place there may be 10 to 15 partners, but there may be 70 to 80 CA employee working under them – so its big hierarchy! And CA students may not even be able to meet the Principal (if the Principal is a partner)
