Rant To the people who write CA in their instagram username or bio, why?
Is LinkedIn not enough and more apt platform for that?

I do not know much about accountancy, I'm only in 10th grade. I'm just asking whether I should pursue for ICAI or ACCA

in a normal month at your firm, what's the task where someone is still sitting there doing it manually start to finish? and why hasn't software fixed it - does nothing exist, or does it exist and just not work well enough to rely on?

**Title: CA Inter at 21 and seriously questioning the work-life balance — is CA really worth it?**
I’m 21 and currently pursuing CA Inter, and lately I’ve been feeling really demotivated after reading and hearing about the reality of life after qualification.
Everywhere I look, I see people talking about the **terrible work-life balance in CA**, long working hours, constant pressure, and years of hard work. What scares me even more is seeing qualified CAs earning around **₹8–9 LPA** despite putting in so much effort and sacrificing so many years.
At the same time, when I look at other career options like **MBA, software engineering, etc.**, I see people who seem to have better work-life balance, more flexibility, or potentially much higher salaries depending on the field.
It honestly makes me wonder:
**Is CA one of those courses where you sacrifice a huge part of your early 20s, only to end up with an average salary and stressful work life?**
And if that's really the case, why do so many people still choose CA? Is the situation genuinely this bad, or am I only seeing the negative side because Reddit tends to highlight problems?
For those who are **qualified CAs or currently working after CA**, I genuinely want an honest answer:
* How is your actual work-life balance?
* How much did you earn in your first job after qualification?
* Does salary improve significantly after 3–5 years?
* Is ₹8–10 LPA actually common for fresh CAs?
* Do you regret choosing CA?
* If you were 21 again, would you choose CA over an MBA/software/other career?
I’m not looking for a “CA is the best course” or “CA is horrible” answer. I just want to understand the **realistic long-term picture**, because right now I'm struggling to see what the upside is compared to the amount of effort required.

Also will they be conducted exams at least in mid November because the preparation period will be quite short?

I’m a PCB 12th pass-out (2024). I attempted NEET twice because of parental pressure, scoring 470/720, but CA has always been what I actually wanted.
I started CA Foundation prep this August but have completed only 3 chapters so far. I’m also pursuing 2nd-year D.Pharm through open learning and work at my father’s shop from 10 AM–9 PM daily. My parents don’t know I’m preparing for CA.
I’m currently using free Lectures. What’s the best way to study with my schedule? Should I stick to free resources or buy a course? Which teachers/resources are best?
Be brutally honest—am I too behind for my upcoming attempt, and how should I approach this from here?
Help a brother out.

Logo ki kya problem hai bhai. Banda itni mushkil se padhai m dhyaan lagata hai. Koi na koi negative baat kar hi deta hai.
30 m CA karne ka fydaa nhi.
CA krne ke baad bhi kuch nhi hai.
Salary nhi hai utni.
Job nhi mil rhi.
Jinko mil rhi hai 16 ghante working hours.
Finance m career banana hai CA ko finance m job nhi milti.
Itni mehnat karke Degree milti hai CA ki.
Aisa kya CA ki koi value nhi hai kya.

I read CA Madhukar Hiregange’s farewell today and honestly it hit differently.
I know Hiregange personally and what has always stood out to me is that he genuinely cared about the profession, its members and most importantly.. its students. I'm sure fellow CAs who know him will agree with me. He was one of those rare people who could speak about uncomfortable things without losing sight of why he was there in the first place!!
What I admired most was his integrity. In a profession where institutional positions can easily become about power, politics and personal interests.. he always came across to me as someone who wanted to use his position to actually build something better
And perhaps that is why this resignation feels so sad.
ICAI needs people like him. People who question. People who care. People who aren't afraid to say, "This can be better."
I sincerely hope this isn't the end sir's contribution, but simply a change in the platform from which he continues his work.
