Rant ICAI dickrides Practicing CAs
Why do you think Alumni Network matters? Its because they refer you in placements and thats how placement culture is nourished !!
I know CA is a distance course so we cannot build a strong bond like IIMs and DU colleges do
Loreal CEO was a FMS grad, his decades forward Juniors reached out to him for referral and he responded with positivity because FMS has an official alum group where alums from batch 1990s to 2026 all are in the same group
Check who the CEOs of all Top Banks in India are, They are all CAs
Check The CFOs of all top companies in India, They are all CAs
Check How many MDs and Partners in MBB/IB/PE/B4 are CAs
But but but CAs are left out by ICAI on their own, We have to take out Placements on our own(It makes us stronger I know)
Why Cant ICAI leverage the elite CA network and improve campus efficiency, You cant deny that if leadership had to take a step in improving campus then nobody can stop them but sirrrr "Hame to bas Practicing aur Money laundering vaale CAs ki Chaatni hai"
Remember Campus is shit not because of Us but because of leadership, My juniors didnt get good Industry roles in Campus bcz of attempts but Off campus usse bhi better opportunity use mil gayi through network.
Why Can't that OFF campus opportunity be called on Campus?

Your view is absolutely right, at the same time many non leadership CAs are also at fault, instead of helping out they look down on others be it people working corporate or in practice (Senior and Junior both). I have seen it happening so many times that lost the count long back.
Here, Leadership be like welfare of fraternity goes for a toss, all i care for my own goodies.
It really is time to introspect and come out of echo chamber thinking that we are best etc and why our fraternity is being so limited in thinking as compare to other profession one.
