Dear All,
I find myself in a dilemma. I am an article of 2nd year (Big 4) and will be eligible for IT next year. Should I go for IT or should i Stay Put in my firm. I plan to join the industry rather than stick with an accounting firm post qualification. I cleared my CISA during my articleship . Any one's take as to whether Articleship is better or IT.
Regards,
brijesh
PS : what is the best method for applying for IT. Anyone aware of any good offers for IT
An IT exposure is definitely good, but since you are already with one among the big four, it does not make much of a difference. Staying in the audit firm you get good exposure of audit finalisation and independent assignments in the third year of articleship. So, before you take a call about IT, apply and check what profile they give during the training period and compare it with the possible exposure in your audit firm. Also check whether the organisation has a policy to absorb you in regular employment post IT.
I know for sure that banks like Deutsche Bank, Citibank and corporates like ITC, Pepsi, HLL take industrial trainees. these give a commercial kind of a profile. W.r.t. banks the profile given may depend. The way to apply would be visit their office personally with your CV or if u have a friend, use that channel.
All the best.
