How young CA is being exploited by SME and CA Firm???

Recently I gave a interview in one of the SME in Kolkata???

1.I forward the resume through one of my friend. After going through the resume they call me to appear for interview the very next day. I appeared for the interview the next day. After waiting for 15 minutes the owner called me for the interview. Before starting the interview they asked me about the salary expectation. After that they started the interview. They asked about the TDS, Income Tax, West Bengal Vat, Tally-ERP 9,TDS Rate, Wealth Tax, Case laws, excise duty. After 30 minutes of interview they made me realise that I know nothing. They were telling ITC is also offering a lower package. I told them that one of my friend working in Bangalore is getting 6 lacs package. They started telling uss banda me kuch kass hoga.So they started offering me 15000/- per month as salary. I told that this salary is very less. So they told this is what young CA are getting in the market. We cannot give more than this. Previously there was a time when majority of CA used to work in industry or get involved in practice. But they never used to work in SME and CA firm. But now majority of young CA are working in SME OR CA FIRM BELOW 2.5 LACS PACKAGE.CA who get job through campus or reference from very small percentage of young CA who pass every six months.Majority of CA are forced to work in CA firm or SME. Where they are either unemployed or underemployed.In majority of cases they are underemployed. What has happened to CA profeesion.It is time to think about our profession very seriously.Think twice before appering for interview in SME in Kolkata or anywhere else.

:-(((((((((

the only solution is if anyone is asking u whether to join CA course then tell him big NO by telling him the consequences.......

yeah totally agreed                                                                         

I agree with iyyappan, you agree that after many questions from interviewer ."After 30 minutes of interview they made me realise that I know nothing" so try to sharpen your knowledge first and then go for interview

I do agree with ...

 

You should have gone prepared & you should have left them amazed with knowledge of CA. It is very important to get prepared & attend interview. It all counts how well you present.

 

CA is no way bearer cheque to get employed any where with 4-6 lacs salary package. Unless u have scored RANK you are at par with other graduates having 2-3 yrs of experience.

 

Also Rs. 15K offered is not matching to recent industry Standard for newly qualified CA.

 

Salary Package depends and defer size of company, age & experience of candidate. Also from city to city package varies. 

 

There is nothing to get disappointed but find good firm/company who values CA. There is struggle for every professional whether he is CA / CS / MBA / CWA.

 

All the best you will definitely get better job, focus on presenting yourself in a better way & your knowledge will boost your confidence.

Agreed. The interviewer will definitely try to bring you down and hence your salary expectation. They are sitting there to save company costs. That is why at the start of the interview never tell your salary expectation,this is only end interview question. So  try to be better prepared next time,with your knowledge as well as soft skills which are required to ace an interview and dont be disheartened you are made for made for better things. :)

Why company should hire young CA's who does not even have any basic knowledge  ??

Why young CA's expect very high package based on only their qualification status  ??

.

Young CA's should come to reality and sharpen their knowledge so that they can bargain well .

 

 

Dear all i dont think Vikash meant to say he does not know anything..he simply wanted to say the questions which may have been put to him was deliberately so designed, so that he is demoralised and accepts a salary which is par less than industry norms. Young and freshly qualified CA's like Vikash should not get dissapointed at this behavior. This is bound to happen because someone in our profession does not respect the hard work which we put at our articleship and study whereas the rest of the world is enjoying. Practical field is always different than theory. In our profession i feel if one has acquired the qualification it means that he is not a crammer or machine which has everything in memmory but that we have capacity to understand a problem and find a solution to it. I feel to avoid such exploitation it is time that the institute fixes a base level package for freshly qualified CA's. Vikash dont lose hope.. keep up and kudos for standing up against this exploitation.
I do agree its a menace......please stop it

agree with you.......feels very sad when some one offers package of 2.5.lacs.....you if u r average than u r neglected..in my opinion we have proved by passing final exam..it is possible for people like me who is not good in interview or exams but good in execution of work......rates or theoretical hardly matters u can also refer books while executing practically....don't know where world is heading

We should be very confident whatever we are doing. Althe best to our friends
Hi Vikas,

At First ICAI should have proud on you. It was said right that CAs are undervalued these days.

The fool people in Industry are happy to pay millions and billions Rs. to Big accounting firm for consulting charges but cant hire few CAs wth acceptable package.

The newly qualified CAs should have given chance for build some confidence, they did not lack knowledge they just need someone's belief in their ability.

It was nicely said by a senior of mine "Kaam karne se hota hai, round table par baate karne se nahi".
