If cleared at the age of 29, does the value of a chartered accountant decrease?

-

I cleared my ipcc in second attempt and final in sixth attempt, so I was a freshly qualified ca at the age of 24 years. Today after 3 years of experience no one asks me for my no. of attempts. Similarly, in the ca firm in which I did my articleship, there were many students who lately cleared their ca and were at good post.


In conclusion, age and no of attempts are not the deciding factor for a chartered accountant, but knowledge is.


I have seen first attempt chartered accountants working for Rs. 25k to 30k and I have also seen multiple attempts chartered accountants working for a six digits salary per month. Thus level of knowledge and expertise affect the value of a chartered accountant.

 What will be the salary of a CA plus CFA? A  Chartered Accountant who also does CFA,  becomes a  DemiGod   in the field if  Accountancy and Finance.  Every company would want to hire you if you show the required  skill sets and solve real problems . Salary after completing both  CA + CFA  depends on  2 major factors  such as: Organisation you work in ; and No. of years of experience you have. For your question, a person working in an average company having atleast  3–6 years of experience as a CA + CFA  can easily make anywhere between  ₹1.2lakhs to ₹2lakhs per month  (as per a verified survey). Some top companies hiring candidates with such credentials are mentioned below :- Deloitte KPMG EY PWC JP Morgan and Chase Goldman Sachs Grant Thornton Morgal Stanley Barclays Hope my answer gave a clarity and understanding with regards to your question. https://caxtalk.blogspot.com/2020/12/what-is-harsh-truth-of-ca...

Has any average student made it to the Big 4 CA firms?

 Has any average student made it to the Big 4 CA firms? First of all, please define what is the meaning of average? If you think that scoring 60% marks in 10th scoring 70% marks in 12th, taking much time to understand the concepts, sits at the last bench, is not good in academics, is considered an average, then I would suggest you to re-define the definition. An average is one who dreams a lot but does not take any action. So, if have scored 60% but are making efforts towards your goal, then you are not average. You are on the path to becoming the best in what you do. And apart from this, if you are an average guy, then your worth is more than the one who is excellent in his field, as the latter chances for improvement are less as compared to the former. Coming to the point,  yes an average guy like you and me can crack Big4 interviews. Note- Have a question for anything? Ping your question on my Linkedin profile( link in bio) and I would answer it through Sunday video call. I...

Why is the Chartered Accountancy course overrated?

-
  Let us assume 1000 people decide to do CA. They appear for  CPT . Only 40% pass.  400 survive They appear for  IPCC . Only 12% pass.  48 survive They appear for  Final CA.  Only 8% pass.  ~4 survive Out of 1000 people who entered the industry, with dreams in their eyes and aspirations of being CA’s, a mere 0.4% were able to achieve it. Now they have to compete to get jobs! Between IPCC and Final CA, your schedule looks like this - Weekdays - 7 to 10 - Attend college in the morning 11 to 8 - Slog in the office By the time you reach home, you realize you got CA stuff to revise, any pending office work to do, you need to talk to your friends (If you still have them), follow your hobbies, etc. Weekends - 6–7 hour classes. For some people even Saturday is working, totally screwing up their work-life balance. Oh wait, for that a CA student needs to have a life! Add to this - outstation audits, college fests you have participated in, any other course y...
