Please help me in deciding.

 

I have passed in group 1 in ipcc and I know few contacts in one of the big four who can recommend me to get an articleship there but the problem is I have to clear in group 2 as well.

So here are my questions...

1. Should I apply an articleship in small/medium size straight away or should I wait till I complete 2nd group and try the big fours?

2. If I opt to wait for articleship in big four? Will I be able to work in a small/medium size firm w/o registering as an article just to gain experience? (Here my question is will I get a job if I say the truth to my principal about my wait to get articleship in big four? [I really want to be truthful but my friends suggest not being so as I won’t get a job]).

3. Would your answer be the same if person recommending to the big four is not a reliable one? [Doesn’t answer based only on this question any 3]?

Advance Thanks to all who took time to reply.....

And Congrats to all ipcc/pcc passed students.

Congrats for clearing IPCC Grp1. Regarding ur query, If u get a chance in Big 4 try right away. Else work in a small firm till u clear grp 2 ipcc and again try in big 4 using ur contacts. I think termination is allowed in first year of articleship. So if its the case, join Big 4 if u get a chance there during ur articleship first year itself. Remember, Brand name of Big 4 counts a lot if u opt for a job after CA. Congrats again and all the best for IPCC grp 2 and articleship.
