Lost job - depressed - what do i do

CA 3741 views 26 replies

Hi 

I am a CA..Its been 1.5 years that I have become a CA...My career has not really taken off as I had hoped. 

I got 4-5 jobs after being CA but nothing really worked out..I am feeling so frustrated and confused and hopeless. 

I dont have smooth work experience for last 1.5 year..what do I do. 

I want to work in corporate finance dept of a company but i m not gtg any such opening...I get interviews, people get impressed too but they tell that they need a person with more experience who can single handedly manage whole department.. 

I dont have any sources of revenue so these breaks/changes in jobs are real headache, make life so unsmooth and awkward.. 

What else can I do to make money? I really think that I have hard luck at keeping jobs and I get bored also. I am too ambitious for regular jobs as well.. I am really sad and confused. Sometimes I think that I should just marry a guy and stop taking headache of this career..I am trying for so many years on my own and why the hell am I still struggling.. Its so strange and ununderstandable for me.

Now I dont even feel like applying for any jobs.. what do i tell them in my CV? no smooth work exp.? Can anybody suggest what to do here..

Today I burnt 1500 in stocks..I am so depressed. :-( 

I am already a CA..How much successful I will be in life..what would become eventually of me..I keep thinking and wondering..My career track so far has been hopeless on papers and earnings wise also..not good...

Please guide me :-(

You should try to get job in the big practising CA firms, and choose internal audit department which will give you more understanding all aspects about an organisation and  also try to teach 11th & 12th standard students whenever new session 2013-14 starts, if you able to teach then this is the best career instead a job.

 

Thanks

I don't have much advice for you. But don't marry someone just for your financial freedom. That's just plain wrong. 

 

And good luck! yes

Dear Friend,

 

Please do not get depressed as you had really worked hard to get this qualification. Avoid investment in stocks now as market is due for correction. Keep trying hard and I am sure things will improve.

Dear Co-Member. Do not loose heart.

Let me share my story with every one here.

I started my articleship in 2006 and appeared for 1st attempt in Nov 2008. I failed in that. I was doing a clerk job since from April 2002 to support my family for finance.. I appeared for final exams for 5 attempts and wasted all money of my father. My father is a retired employee (retired in 1998).

Nothing much left for me. I was working in KPO company for 16,000/- p.m. from 2010. I requested them to grant me exam leave for 12 days for May 2012 attempt. They said they will think over it.

On a 2nd day of next week I got a call from my company " Your sevices are no longer required hence kindly resign and collect your full and final payment."

I was crying like anything. There was no source of Income. Just Pension of Rs. 3000/- of my father. (Medical expenses of my mother per month was 2200/-) I did not slept for a single night and I studied hard for my final attempt in May 2012. By the god's grace and my hard work I scored enough to pass out.

I waited for 6 months to get a decent job for atleast 20,000/- p.m. salary but I couldn't find anyone. I got engaged just because I had CA degree. But I was under severe pressure that how will I marry when there is no source of income?? I was hopeless completely. No sleeps in the nights and tention was building day by day.

I had faith in God and I tried so hard to get a Job atleast for survival. There was a food problem and medical issues for that I was having short of money (Bank Balance of Rs. 9,642/-) ....

I prayed to the God " Almighty God, Let me have a chance to live in this world. I am left with no hope. Please award me atleast a job in which I can earn and run my family. Or else I will be left with no option but to leave this world."

 

i just mailed to a CA firm on that night and I got a call from them in the next morning. I thought they might be looking for Audit assistant for which ordinarily they pay 10,000/- p.m. I was happy and comfortable with that. I went to their office and they intorduced me to a Chairman of a group company named Lakshya Group of Companies. I was not asked for expected salary and they straight a way offered me a package of Rs. 7,00,000/- p.a. I was surprised and had no word to express what has just happened.

 

Today I am so happy with my family and wife and also to be a member of CA freternity. It was just a faith, my ability and patience for a right time to come that helped me to be alive today with a great future ofcourse.

 

So please do not loose heart and keep working hard. Your destiny will take you to your dream destination.......

Yehi to life hai, aise bahot se ups and downs aaynge dost.... remember this song when ur sad.. "Duniya me Kitna Gham Hai, Mera Gham Kitna Kam Hai" " Zindagi Ki yehi Reet Hai. Haar ke Baad Hee Jeet Hai"

thanks everyone for making her strong .........just stay calm and relax and dont panic most important keep patience everything will happen just wait for that good time...:)

Thanks Bhargav for sharing your journey. It requires real courage to speak one's life out. It would definitely serve as an encouragement to one and all out here in the forum. 

When going gets tough, the tough get going. Time heals everything - Give time time. 

Would like to share something which my manager told -

Karm Karo, fal ki chinta mat karo - Do your karm (work) but dont worry about fruits. The God is there to take care of all your needs. It is difficult to digest these things during tough times but once things get better, the logic of each incident can be understood.
