what after ca

Doing MBA .....

I guess CPA or CFA 

Instead of going for any other courses i would suggest go for specialization courses provided by ICAI....

I dont think there is any criteria to get a package of 20 lacs...dere are people who are not getting even 10 lacs with 3-4 degrees in hand including CA...but there are some who are gettng more than dis..So try to focus on what evr u do..

Doing specialization in one field of CA liker DT or IDT for 2 to 3 yrs.

i guess MBA in finance.

I agree wid gaurav.......

To increase your package value, build up your professional value. Increase your knowledge and become an expert in your field/subject. Just having more and more degrees is of no use practically, it just looks good on the visiting card. Instead of giving 2-3 more years to academics, gain more practical exposure and be a practical oriented professional. Believe me, if you can become an expert in 1-2 practical subjects and can solve the problems of your client on your fingertips, then there is no stopping you. Sky is the limit......

 do actuarial course ...its salary is very high....n bcz u r already a CA u wil get directly enroll.

 n yes knowledge is the basic thing ,...n self confidence is must for a gud salary base .

doing LLB or BL is also useful if u wanted to get into tribunal as soon as u complete ur CA .

boss dont get over-qualified.

if your age and experience is not in consonance of your qualification you are not going to get more than an ordinary qualification. Qualification is not a shortcut for higher pay package. its your qualification coupled with your experience and experties matter.

say if your age is 25 yrs and you are CA + CPA+ MBA+ CWA / CS / LLB. You will not get benefit of al lthe degrees. Infact employers will be afraid of hiring you as you are overqulified. If you are CA at 25 yrs and MBA/ CPA at 28 and CS/CWA at 32 yrs then of course you can think for higher pkg as your qualification commensurate with your experience/ expertise, and also do not be in doldrum. Pick one field and become expert. Not like 1 yr in accts, 2 yrs in Tax. 2 yrs in company law...

I am really glad to know that an IPCC student can write like this whereas many qualified CAs are confused to make a bright career with their own qualification i.e. CA which is well known as the best career.

I said this from my own nano bit of experience during articleship. There is a tax consultant who is friend of my sir. By just looking at his personality you get positive vibes. He knows the income tax act very well. He knows the sections on his finger tips. But to stay here he daily studies and updates himself for 2 hours.  I've listened to him talking to his clients many times, he just solves the problems like daily routine work and his work commands respect for himself.

Money is earned by everyone, but the respect you will get being a professional in this field is invaluable.
