Our institute is SICK!! No lyf for most of the working Chartered Accountants. It would have been better if I had taken a 2 year MBA course from a good institute which would have fetched me 2-3 times my present salary. What have I done studying rilli rilli hard throughout my life and struggling for 5 years (including PE I).. just to earn 9L after 3 years post-qualification?. I have my team-mates who are MBA graduates and with lesser experience earning a whopping 15-20L pa. " Not dat I am greedy but I want to be recognised for all the effort I have put in."
I always used to think that CA`s not just earn good but also are greatly respected. I have worked in 2 super-big(top) IT companies and all CA`s here are treated on par with any MBA. Nowadays, I have started suggesting ppl to join MBA from a good institute if they could afford.
I am already fed-up working as a CA. Am planning to venture out to become a entrepreneur.
AND MIND YOU, forget about the proposed 9L min salary (old news now). The job market for CA`s have drastically come down with the recent pass-outs struggling to get a job even after 4 months. If the institute fails to check this, the 75-long years of struggle and effort to gain all that we are now, would go for a toss.
