First of all congratulations. I understand your anxiety at having cleared after multiple attempts. Unfortunately, yeah, a lot of companies do place an emphasis on number of attempts and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. That's just the way the system is. Having said that, there are also firms who do ignore attempts and instead focus on how good you are. So keep looking out for opportunities. If you are interested in the traditional areas of tax or audit, there are a large number of CA firms you can get into. If not, there are also many companies that may have what you are looking for in a career. So just relax. Start small and work your way up. Attempts don't make anyone better or worse. Be conceptually strong, cultivate a good personality, keep learning and you will be fine. All the very best!
