CA with job(plz reply)

I am sorry but its necessary.

As I have said earlier many times on this platform recently.
I have suffered from ADHD and some other domestic issues that happens in our Indian society.

And due to all this mess I was unable to complete my CA and had been a patient of depression and some mental disorder which was not treated in time and my family was not able to understand due to unawareness and ignorance.

I am 29 now and had the best and worst of my reality check about life in my first Corporate job....in a BPO(Global recognized MNC) that too in NCR. I am no more a part of it now.

Previously I decided to quit and pursue my CA completely ...no matter what time it may take.

But going with a prudent and practical approach I am thinking to work in a firm where I have to work on accounts journals.

I am single and taking care of my family along with my brother.

I felt I should start working so that I can financially support him and try to do my studies along with acquiring knowledge on various things which I am unaware and never took interest or was not able to understand due to mental illness.

Its an issue not my identity.

I don't know what my life will take a change after I start working .

But what would you have done if you were in my position.

I am a simple ...a little emotional...but a very good person.

I don't know what opportunity I will get and when.....on becoming a CA.

I am a mature guy now....I have never enjoyed my life.

I know how to make people happy....

A good stressbuster machine.

I don't want to get trapped again into overthinking so I thought to take opinions of members on CCI irrespective of their age or gender or any such categories.

I know for some it would be hard to understand or relate due to lack of one of the core life skills called empathy.

I am at zero. I am where I started my CA journey if I have to put myself in simple words.

I have lost precious years of my life.

And something which I don't want to share on this platform.

Please reply.

I know I am being selfish but now I want to live for myself...Abhi toh life start hui hai and life is an ice cream....shall taste it before it get melts.

The title of the post reads, “CA with job (plz reply)”. Though I am not a CA, but I would like to share some points. Hope it helps.

1. First of all join a mid-size CA. Firm.

(May not be a high paying job. But you will learn well and it will help you few years down the line in this journey)

2. Sleep before midnight and wake up after adequate sleep. Start practicing Pranayam and Yoga.

(You won’t see anything happening initially. But after sometime, it will calm you down and you will feel an inner peace, besides other health benefits)

3. After you find the job, prepare a routine/time-table for your studies, giving ample time to each subject and as per the time available in your targeted attempt.

4. Don’t rush to give the exams at the earliest attempt. Assess yourself, how much time you need to prepare yourself and then decide on an attempt.

5. Don’t sit at home and prepare for exams.

(There should not be a considerable gap between articleship completion and getting the qualification. Work and study. Will help you after qualification)

5. During this period, there will be naysayers who will question you choices, ways or path selected. But you have to ignore them.

6. Don’t think about the age. There is a huge life ahead of you. It’s just a matter of few more months/year. A good life is waiting at the other end.

7. Just concentrate on maintaining the discipline and focus. Keep working at it. Rest will fall in place.

Good luck. Be positive. Ignore the negativity.

Hey,

Can you belive, all what you been through is just a mirror I can see myself in.

I have few hours left for attempting the second group of ca final.

Yes!

I would not focus here all what I had been through, coz you mentioned it all.. I would just tell you, its ok to bit delay.

Nothing matters more than self realisation and self confidence.

Trust me, wen I say you can change, you can!!

I have cleared group 1 ca final in the new course after attempting for 11 straight attempts in old and 1 attempt in new course. I ve a full tym corporate job, for my family which I just can't skip for xyz reasons.

I cleared with my determination to clear and managing time was just in my head..
So with work, I managed 2 hours morning and 2 hours evening library with 8 hours office job and let me mention, considering staying in Mumbai takes alot of your convenience tym.. I would start my day leaving home by 7 and reaching home back by 11.

So all said and done, I hope you got your piece of reply..

So set your goals, I work Akash..

The world is waiting to hear, more from you..a story of inspiration.

Thank You Sonia....acha laga jaan ke....I am considering job right now so that I can earn and learn aur ca is just a part of life . Jab ban jaunga toh I will be having opportunities .

its just that I am 29 and there is something called getting settled . That is one thing for a boy which makes a difference kyuki mujhe meri last job mein kisi ne baht sahi cheej pooch li that what will I do in my 30s and 40s without a partner. Its a myth that one should not marry a person who is in struggling phase. Iski kya guarantee hai that a well settled person can be a very good companion . I know I shall not discuss such things over here . It just that kahi na kahi her question has made a place in my head and in my full day....it comes for a while and I start thinking...ke sahi toh kaha usne. Well thanks once again.....I will take my time and follow with job because for me family comes first....and thanks to both of you for your wishes and suggestions. Acha laga.
