Big four 1433 views 4 replies

friends,since d IPCC results will b coming anytym this month..m quite confused with where should i head for my articleship training.

Big 4:few f my frndz n cousins hav done deir articleship trainin frm either E&Y ,pwc r kpmg..as per them..they say u get a gr8 exposure bt very less independence to handle things alone which gives u less f self reliance n work experience.They evn say d wrk pressure is too much smthin lyk d firm leaves them somtym at 4 am in morning..n agn call by 10am.

other firms:dont give d exposure that much wen comes to variety of industry in their audit portfolio but since evrything is to b handled by d articles ,it gives confidence,independence and on-the-job work experience.

m really confused..need a bit of guidance from u frnz...

Cracking CA in first attempt is much important than doing articleship in Big 4. Because you preparations do suffer for sure.

You can get good exposure(not comparable to Big4 though) in other firms as well.

If you have plans to join Big4 only; after completing CA then that is the place to go now as well...but if you sit in campus & you have done articleship from Big4 & took more than 1 attempt, you might not be considered a good option.
