i have a question to ask... Is it better to work in a Big 4 which gives a great deal of exposure,but they let us specialize in one specific area right from Articleship period...or a firm next to big 4 which gives its article assistant experience in all fields...thereby giving us a holistic learning platform... What do you Suggest Sir??? Because at such initial Phase..when we start our Career in CA we are hardly aware about our Interest in any specific area...

Hello,

You are very lucky that you have both the options. As per my suggestion if you got an opportunity to work with big 4 than grab it without any delay. Agree work is a bit mechanical there. But growth is also high.

But it would not be a wise desicion if you leave a good chance at the cost of BIG 4 work. So be careful. Grab the first good opportunity.

Ultimately success choose an honest person with good skill and attitude towards work and humans around.

Wish you all the good luck

Of course its always a great oppotunity to work with the Big 4's. Eveni have also heard that they keep in one field only. But i think if you take initiative & ask for work in other fields then i guess no one would say no. Eagerness to learn things affects a lot.

Well practical exposure is highly important for CA students. Studies can definitely go hand in hand with articleship. Of course you might face problems in attending coaching classes, but the positive thing here is the practical experience.
