Hi Friends

Getting CA degree is just start. hence plan in intial stage

In case u want to go for job, better u specialise in one area as per demand of industry.

for job area, u can very well visit naukri or monster and read between lines , what is JD, what domain area industry is looking for, if interested try to become USP by getting extra degrees, continous education

It is very important for u to keep urself alive in industry. U are not graduates, u get good package, hence to keep urself in industry, u should be USP.

just decide one area, once u start getting speialisation and working towards it. it will become interesting. u will enjoy.

for eg internal audit--- from IIA USA

treasury , risk mgt, project finance- Diploma from IIB

Accounts- lern SAP from siemens, excel. Accounts is common area. hence try to avoid it

FEMA:

SOX compliances:

budgeting, Finacial planning and analysis: FPM from austalia

 

splecialise urself in one area,,,,, ur chances of getting job in india and abroad for better package and better desgination / respect increases. Ur job security will be higher. because u are usp for industry.

as far as possible, try to be in one specific sector of industry like finance, insurance, mfg.

To the extend possible, if u want to become CFO, u should start ur career in mfg co (whether small or big does not matter), they pay u less, work experience u will get will be awesome. u will be cfo in coming 10-15 yrs . just stick in the same  mfg co for 4-5 years, if u are learning and growing. intially they may give u boring work, after 1 yr u will get good work.
