 What is the salary of a chartered accountant?

Getting a CA Final Rank takes you 5 years ahead in life. Like literally.

The average pay for a non-ranker is 6–9 lakhs.

A CA Final ranker FRESHER will at least on a minimum on a conservative basis secure a job of 15–18 lakhs and goes up to 27–28 lakhs with the marquee FMCG Companies.

The big-ticket companies like P&G, Mondelez, HUL, RB, BCG, McKinsey, Baines takes only CA RANKERS.

So I would highly recommend all aspiring CA Students to redeem themselves and prove your abilities to the world by getting a rank at any cost in Final CA.

So from a job perspective, the salary on your first job depends on -

  1. Attempts and rank -The bitter truth is attempts do matter in your first job. 14000 people becoming CA in an attempt company need criteria for filtering people. I completely agree that attempts are not a measure of your Calibre but that's how the system is.
  2. Big 4 articleship - A big4 articleship gives the confidence to the recruiter that the candidate can multitask, work in corporate culture, sit for late hours, has decent communication skills and can handle stress/pressure.
  3. Communication skills Key to cracking interviews and GDs. This is one thing we as a fresher must actively work on.
  4. Complete knowledge of your articleship areas In your interview you will be grilled on your articleship experience. The best way is to revisit the working papers and the key points (fraud etc.) which you found in your audits, any suggestions which added value to the client to impress the interviewer
  5. Behavioral HR questions This is the most underprepared part of an interview. Prepare questions like - tell me something about yourself, Instances about failure, conflict, leadership, how you handled stress, pressure, Why should I hire you, tell me a time when you added value to the client. Impressing the interviewer with some insightful answers will stand you in good stead.

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 you are pursuing and if you are in Mumba

 Is it okay to start practice immediately after clearing the CA final? I have done my articleship in my home town where I want to open my own firm. Generally, it takes about 3 years to break even, if you set up your practice. Kindly note that there are only 3.13 lakh Chartered Accountants in India a of 1.4.2019, of which there are only 1.34 lakh Chartered Accountants in full time practice. For nearly a US$ 3 trillion economy of India, the number of Chartered Accountants in Practice in India is deplorably low. However, the expectations of the different sectors from Chartered Accountants in practice is different, and you will take a couple of years to get to know the nuances of the client expectations on the one hand, and develop required professional skill sets to deftly balance between growth and diversity. Having said that, it will be relatively better, if you are able to become a partner of an existing CA firm, so that you get rich exposure in diverse sectors, different regions and i
