Hi friends,
I need advice from all my juniors and seniors
Currently I am working with a pharma company as a junior officer in PPIC dept basically assisting in Inventory accounting with2.5 package. I had cleared my CPT and had completed coaching of IPCC and had appeared for IPCC once. I have completed my CS inter and will be appearing for Final in coming Dec. I have completed my M COM with Fin subjects also completed my G.D.C. A (Cooperative Accountant)
Now, i recently got married and confused whether I should complete my CA, CS where my article ship is also pending or I should continue to work in the same field because i need to earn also.
What is better to change the career line or stick to what I am doing now.
My wife has cleared her IPCC |

Mr.Struggler, this is the best piece of solution which i can offer you. Since u said u are already working, you finish ur CS final this december. Don't worry about articleship cos in CS u can show ur work experience in the industry as articleship experience and get exemption. After finishing CS, u try for CWA, reason being since u have been working in inventory accounting, the subjects of CWA would be useful for u for gaining a boost in ur current line of career. Also , in CWA also you can get exemption from articleship on basis of your work experience and also 40% of the papers of CWA, u can claim exemption after finishing CS final. and once you qualify CWA finals, u can apply for direct membership with CMA(US) and also get a big exemption with CIMA(UK) which will help u even in getting overseas jobs and can go on to make u a management consultant. If u do CA, again u have to do mandatory articleship for 3 years and stipend will be peanuts mostly which wont be sufficient for you to support yourself and your studies apart from supporting your family. Regarding job opportunities, the above four courses combined together will give you more opportunities than what CA degree on its own will give and all the above four courses will take less time as compared to CA course to complete. And since, u have said that u need to earn also, doing CA is not prudent at this time. however, since u said ur wife has cleared her IPCC, u can ask her to do artilceship in a small firm with flexible timings for articleship as well as where she can take maximum leave even if the stipend is less and ask her to complete CA. All the Best
