I am doing my CA just cleared IPCC. I wanted some invaluable advice regarding my carrier.I have to join articles. I have an option  between

1.Joining A mid size firm giving me exposure to all servicelines ( Tax, audit etc)

or

2. I have an opportunity in Earnst and young but only in Risk Management and Advisory Services. 

I wanted to know the future prospects of this  Risk Management Advisory Services and what opportunities will i have after CA. Also your advice on the same.

I Think Go With 2nd Option.

Hi Asif

As per my advice u should join Earnst and Young, whatever the department given to u does not matter.

at least u will become a expert in that field. And dont think that u will be in that department for the whole articleship period, may be that u would be shifted to another department.

 Earnst and Young is far more better than any mid size firm.

Given the facts that you may earn more in EnY and will be exposed to a higher level of clients, anyone would say EnY is where you should go.

However, do take into consideration the cons. You will be more of a slave than an employee/article. You will be sacrificing a lot out of your personal life. I do not belive that you can possibly be shifted to any other department in any Big4 so don't expect that. You will work for full 3 years with the same department. I am not discouraging you but facts are facts. If you can handle the cons; 2nd option is what you should choose.

Its simply difficult..

 

If you just want a brandname and monotonous work, go for EY

If you wanna really learn d job a of CA, go for midsizes...

Dear Asif,

 

I would suggest a mid-size firm, but not a small sized firm...

See if the mid-sized firm u are talking about now is popular with other students.... 

If yes, dont bother about E&Y....

 

But wherever you go, there wil be no love lost for articles after a couple of months (at the most)...

It is best if u can take the decision purely based on the merit of developing yourself as a professional..

thanx guys

Hi dude

 

in my opinion you should first decide whether you want to do job after compeleting CA or you want to do Practice then decide


choose 1 and join a good CA firm which will give you exposure in all fields if you want to do Practice


choose 2. if you want to do job

 

hope it will give you some idea

 

take care

Hi Asif,

Dont restrict your exposure in a particular field, atleast dont risk of doing it during your articles. At this stage you should be a learner and expose to different fields of practice. Once you clear, you decide which field you want to foray into and join a suitable firm.

 agree vwith uday

JOIN THERE WHICH IS NEARER TO U RESIDENTIAL PLACE

AFTER ALL AFTER ARTICLE TIME MEANS IN EVENING U HAVE TO STUDY ALSO
