Big 4 articleship very very urgent plz help

Big four 4375 views 20 replies

One of my friends has recently written his IPCC Exams. He wants to make optimum utilisation of Articleship. So he is thinking of trying in Big4. But I heard that in Big 4, each article will be delegated to only one area (such as audit or income tax or indirect tax, etc) throughout his articleship period.  In that case it will not be of much use to him if he joins in a Big 4 firm. 

 

So please clarify whether it is true that articles will be delegated to only one area in big 4 throughout their articleship period.

 

Thanks in advance.

Dear Naveen,

 

Please answer my question: whether it is true that articles will be delegated to only one area in big 4 throughout their articleship period or not.

 

Yes. It sucks. My  friend is in EY and after 4 months, he is regretting,.

It is true as I too came to know from my friends. Only one area is allowed. But few members have expressed that in few of the Big4's, another area may also be allowed after certain period. But overall its a restriction to one area. But a student coming out of Big4 after his articleship will gets priority in campus interview to an extent and few Big4's are absorbing them as regular employees after successfully clearing CA exams and on their satisfaction of students record in his period of articleship.

Mr. Go Green, Simply go for it. Big 4 has lot of benefits. from last many year's  i am hearing first time. many students who are doing articles in Big 4 they are almost satisfied. only who are not satisfied they are posting forum's ( i strongly think ). There is lot to know in Big 4 where you can't get in mid firms or associates. coming to stress or work load or sucking of blood it will be definately there for article students anywhere inthe world.

so better to accept in a hard manner is best of the best i think. 

This is my opinion. let's see what other member's say.

i too wanna apply for big four. although result is not out. how can i apply? i cant find any place on there websites to send my cv

Well i strogly recommed Big 4 provided the near furture objective is to join the corporates. Agreed, the exposure it tilted towards fewer areas but over the period of 3 years u gain a lot of knowledge.

Yes its True that only exposure of one area is avbl,as thr is division of wrk.

But also as ur frnd has done IPCC so they have full fledgedly 3 yrs of A'ship so, better go for Big 4.

Hey Go Green,

I think so your  should not join a big4 nw @ this moment . bcoz its true that u vil b delegated to 1 area throught ur 3.5 year of articleship..... Its better 2 opt for a med-sized firm .. where he can get an expirence from sratch ... from Income tax return filing process 2 haldling co. law matters including audits... After getting exposure in maximum all fields he can opt for a big 4 after clearing his articles ... 

HOW TO JOIN IN BIG 4 IS IT REQ. REFERENCE IF YES CAN ANY BODY INTRODUCE ME
