BIG Firms? Fine marks, 1st attempt etc- still no Articleship

If you dont want to waste your time then why dont you go for training in any medium sized firm..........

There are many others except big which provides quality work and even a gud value to ur resume too...

then whats the point of waiting for a reply by BIG4........?????????????

Dear its all about references, Actually big4 prefers refernces over direct application so pls dont waste your time just start your training in any gud medium sized firm

yes u r right Mr. Jain

i m also trying bt no response come from there

n thereafter i joined middle size firm named H.S. ahuja & Co.

 n u can't belive i also get 69% in group-1 and 69% in group also bt not got big firm

Actually, you should go through proper channel..

There is no harm in contacting anyone directly also.. You just have to be persistent.. apart from that you should try not only by sending emails.. bcoz they receive many such mails everyday..

instead try to contact the hr on phone and be in constant touch with them.. do the follow up atleast once in 1-2 days..

and of course, articleship in big 4 or GT or BDO would help u a lot in every phase of ur career so according to me, u should try to go in some big firm.. there is no harm if u have to wait for 1 more month for this.. but not more than that..

a friend of mine went for an interview and he was told that he shud bring 6 months of experience .....i got a joining call from PWC Mumbai bt i have not responded to them bcoz I want to see and learn abt all the fields like tax planning, company law matters, auditing...nd after identifying my area of interest I will join a big firm bcoz they divide the students in departments!...Dont waste tym...i also cleared in nov ....

i agree with you ... but I am from small city and here I won't even get a company audit.... here the firms do only tax audit, partnership audit r few and individual audit who just apply for loan from banks.....so the exposure is limited....also if i leave my city then it's hard to find which middle sized firm is good....so all sorts of confusion...... thanks for your comment though...and might be i will disturb you more in future for taking your advice on selection of middle sized firms....thanks again

and if big four are only giving preference to one with reference or jack, i feel sorry for students like us who study hard and dream of getting articleship there......

@ lalit- i congratulate you over your decision...because after getting so good marks it's difficult to take decision and sideline our wish of working in big firm and join middle sized firm....you had the courage...but it's me who don't have dare to choose what is right at this instance....anyways best luck for ur articleship....

@ Sahil sir- i really liked your advice for calling the HR team...likewise from today i have started collecting their contact information....as per your advice i will now try hard to get in touch with them....thanks a lot

@ disha- i agree with what u said dat big 4 don't provide for exposure in all fields....but I am willing to do job in future so a tag of big 4 articleship adds some more bucks to your pay package...that's what i'm waiting for.... congrats on clearing ur exams....wish you all the very best with ur articleship..thanks

congrats for clearing gud marks nd big 4 rarely accept students wid single group cleared!! so ...try again after finishing 2nd grp of IPCC nd take transfer aftr completing 1st six months of articleship...

thank you....

I am having my group II attempt in next week...hopefully I can clear it.... according to me both group criteria was till a year and half ago...now-a-days they are recruting students with one group also....even 2 of my seniors got in big 4 with one group passed.....but big 4 alone know's what strategy they use for selection....

Dont worry dude..Concentrate on your Group 2. Also try in other international firms(Non Big 4's) like Grant Thornton, Sharp & Tannan, Reznick Group,etc. They too offer good exposure and a stipend at par with Big 4. All the best
