Does age matters

Hi

I request the reader to reply.

I have started my CA final preparations after being 31.
I left the MNC job due to depression.
After that I failed in business.

I am just like a fresher now with negligible experience.

How shall I start after exams?
What would be my value as a CA?

I have a huge gap between in CA and on its completion. How will I justify this gap?


Lot of anxiety and stressed up right now.
Plz help me.

Age is not a concern here. I've seen people qualify at their 40s and 50s. If you really are passionate about being CA, go for it.

Here are some alternatives to CA course in today's globlised era :
1. Get an international degree in accounting / auditing e.g.  ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA, CPA (USA / AUS / NZ), CMA (USA), CIA, CISA, CFE etc. (all these courses are much easier than CA curriculum and several online / offline coaching classes are available in India).  
2. Go for a course in ERP - SAP, Oracle EBS, Microsoft Business Central (MS Dynamics).  
3. Go for a course on Data Analytics tools (ACL, IDEA), Data Visualisation / Business Intelligence Tools (R, Power BI, Tableau, Quilkview etc.).  
4. Go for a course on a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tool (e.g. UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism etc.).  
5. Go for a course on a GRC suite (e.g. RSA Archer, ServiceNow, SAP GRC etc. ) 

After gaining these degrees / certifications / skill sets, you will easily get an opportunity in an IT company, Big4, MNC, KPO, Global Delivery Centre / Shared Services Centre of an MNC / Big4.
