Whether to be in small or shift towards big firms

Go Big! If you join a big firm, they will give you a job after you pass CA. Also, the experience you gain is invaluable. My friends find audit the easiest subject and don't feel the need to study while I find it the most difficult. I'm talking about CA Final btw. They even find CA final audit easy. Plus if you join a firm like E&Y, the experience of working so hard and such long hours will make you ready to accept any challenge in the future. This includes studying for exams.

First,u have to decide what u want to do after becoming CA i.e. job or practice.If u want to do job then no problem in joining any big firm where u ll get ample of exposure but if u want to go for practice then its better if u join mid size firm where u ll learn different types of work......Further very big firms hardly prefer transfer cases....
