Job on completion of CA

Dear Friend, as per your post, it seems that you are very disappointed by your friend words but let me answer your questions.

First of all I want to say that age is just a number. Get something with delay is better than get nothing.

Selections for job/ any work are done on basis of work knowledge and experience not by age factor.

You can go for a CA firm job if you can learn there  otherwise you can join industry/organizations also as it will give you practical exposure.
