Career advice required

Dear Pulkit 

I appreciate your eagerness of learning even after completion of your alticleship too. But let me share with you that it is not necessary that only a CA Firm can give the knowledge you want like Taxation matters in your case. You can join a company as an Accounts and Finance Executive but make sure that they are ready to give you the exams leave for appearing in CA Final exams. You are already spending time in this firm more than required by the corporates i.e. 7.30pm to 8.00 pm even without having assignments for learning purpose.

When you join a corporate then it is up to you how much workload you can handle because everyone in the corporate want to get the work done from others even you can invole in other dept too, like if you join as an Accounts executive than you may involve in tax matters too.

Normally, TDS, service tax and VAT/Sales tax come under the perview of Accounting in the corporate. However, in large companies they have defferent dept. After joining the company you may seek transfer in the other dept according to your choice.

Also, different challenges during the execution of work in the corporate will give you confidence to handle the similar situation next time.

Try to give a qualitative study time of at least 4 hours each day apart of exam leaves to get well prepared for the upcoming CA Final Grp 1 exams.

Hope your 2nd group result would be positive for which wish you all the very best..

I also appeared for the 2nd group this time. In Nov - 2014 I appeared for the first time for both Group but loose 2nd group. However, I prepared fully with self study without any single coaching along with my articleship with Noida based CA firm 'Shiv Om & Co.'

Hope it will help you.

With you all the best..
