Hi Friends, I have given 8 attempts of CA final and I am waiting for result of my 9th attempt. i just hold one exemption in Financial Reporting. I am right now 25 years old. I have done my articleship back in 2012. Due to exams I was not able to continue working. And as you all know its not easy for Semi Qualified CAs like me to get a job with good package before clearing CA final and pursue CA final with it. As employer knows that as and when they complete CA they will try to leave for better opportunities and if they fail they will crave for preparation leave for CA exams. I want to be a Chartered Accountant. At the end I want to ask you guys that after giving so many attempts and with just articleship exposure. Will I be able to secure job after becoming CA or will there be growth opportunities for me after that?

Hii Shubham, i am also a CA Final student given 5th attempt this time holding exemption in one subject. Just want to tell you one thing that keep your passion intact like this you will surely become Chartered Accountant. Coming to your question of career opportunities after no.of attempts given i would like to tell you that all that matters at last is your knowledge and skills that you acquired during these years. If you have these you will surely make your way out just keep faith in yourself. It might happen that you will not get that much package initially but then you will make your way so don't get worried about it. You can take up a job in any CA firm at present so that you can neet out your expenses and simultaneously continue preparations, this will help you to keep in touch with the updates and brushing up your skills more.
best of luck.
