If you wish to make a bright career only; then surely you have to sacrifice something.

Lodha & Co. is one of the best firm in India hence you can chose to go straightway. One of our CA club member Ankit Gulgulia is also taking his training there. I have seen his replies and asked him about him training. According to him; it is too satisfactory.

If the firm sends you outside for audits; it's a luxury. People use to pay thousands of rupees to visit various places. Here you will enjoy work with visit of so many new places and meeting with new persons running big companies.

Of course; work pressure would be there but you won't go alone for audit. There would be always of team with you.

ITS TRUE AS SURENDAR SIR SAID, IF WANT SOMETHING THEN NEED TO SACRIFICE SOMETHING..ITS HARDLY 3 YEARS AND IN THAT YOU CAN LEARN LOT . IF YOU JOIN BEST AUDIT FIRM WILL BE VERY GOOD TO YOUR RESUME AND MORE YOU WILL GAIN LOT OF KNOWLEDGE IN DIFF FIELD..

IN BIG 4 ONLY ONE FIELD SO BETTER TO JOIN MIDDLE FIRMS WHERE YOU CAN DIF FIELDS..

IF U WANT TO JOIN BIG 4 THEN KPMG AND E AND Y IS BEST....

Dear Sanyam , Your choice list of firms is nice.

As far as Outstation Audits are concerned and their time period is concerned i think they should not be your decision making criterions. Rather your criterion at this moment should be what type of exposure you will get what level of work you can gain Expertise on ! and I Think this 2 Months or Longer is just a Rumour , Periods solely depend on what assignment you are on. We have Many Assignments in Delhi Too.

As Far stipend is Considered this is again not a decision making criterion. I u have good Pratical Experience under your belly then you will be a demanded professional no matter what the State of Economy Is once your articleship is over.Dont try to find quick money in CA Career.

Agree with Surender SIr Completely ! I have Started to See him as my mentor the Day i first came in interaction with him!

All the Above Choices Big 4 or LCO etc are Nice but what is very important is how much you are able to extract out from your experience.
