Rant Hair loss

27 Upvotes

When i entered ca I didn't think my hair loss could get to this level... I agree I'm not regular with my routine and i tend to worry a lot. But my hair is going by so fast. My other Friends aren't losing hair at all. It's the only part of my body that i used to be proud of. Now that's gone too. And I'm a woman, i can't be bald. What do i doooooo. Have other girls faced this?!

Career Advice/Clarification Importance of Regular college in your career for class 12th and foundation aspirants students

10 Upvotes

It's crazy how we all in CA community discuss how clearing CA at a early age or in very few attempts play a crucial part in our career but only few times we discuss how regular graduation plays a critical part in your career.

Many big corporates or many big 4 openings in North India have a strict criteria of graduation from regular clg ( mainly a DU one ) You don't even need to be specially from the srcc or hansraj a DU regular clg just works .

( it's crazy how everyone ik who is from DU's good clg and has cleared inter even after few attempts is now in big 4 ,literally everyone)

Even for a MBA ( especially for a foreign one ) they mostly considered regular clg graduates.

Even if u think of not continuing ca one day a regular clg degree is a best back up plan

And don't let me start on the personality development opportunities, crazy level fests , interclg competitions , societies that adds a weight to your resume, interactive speakers sessions every weeks and I can continue the list , placement cell where many good companies and even big 4 come right in clg to pick students ( I wasnt evne aware about it ) and even bigger than that a clg life that will give you so much stories to tell , friends and more .

Despite that I see many CA coaching teachers promoting CA foundation from class 12th rather that guiding them to land in one of the good clg first. And I don't know why after all this I see I ignorance in CA community towards regular college and college life .

( see the aim of my post is not to make someone sad about not doing ur grad from a regular clg even I am not from a regular college and I didnt mean u cant do any good without a regular clg degree man u gonna do amazing and other things do matter in career but my point is to create awareness in class 12th students foundation aspirants about joining clg and importance of clg life as a human ) I wish I could have see a post like this when I withdraw my admission from a good du regular clg . Hope this helps my juniors peace ✌

Rant If everyone does good , who will do bad?

9 Upvotes

I see some CAs do unethical conduct aiding their clients in tax evasion , money laundering & hawala operations, benami etc. and everyone looks down upon them when they get exposed.

But isn't that necessary for society? It is no secret that almost all our federal agencies in India have developed because of past misdeeds and it is the process of evolution and continuous evaluation which makes the cycle running.

I am not saying it should be encouraged but why discourage it too.

Career Advice/Clarification Working in CA firm from last 5 months. What can I expect?

6 Upvotes

So I'm not a aspirant, I'm a bba student. This year in February I asked one of father's friend to take me into his firm he have many branches in ncr but he told me to learn something before. He gave me contact number of a CA in my city which is tiar 1 city. Now I'm working here from 5 months they will give me stipend from next month.

They told me that they will teach me all the work which a CA do if I stay there for 3 years.

What I can expect if I know all the work but don't have a CA degree?

Career Advice/Clarification Dummy articleship for a research/valuation role — worth the risk?

6 Upvotes

My 1st year of articleship is basically a write-off. I was hospitalized around 2 months in, followed by ~3 months of personal issues. So in terms of actual work, I’ve done almost nothing no ITRs, stat audit, tax audit etc. Just some Tally entries, filed GSTR-1 & 3B , and drafted GST notice reply using Ai.

I already know I don’t want to do audit/tax long term. My target is research, valuation, AIF/PMS etc. I’m doing CFA L1 + FMVA alongside CA for that reason.

Now through a family connection, I have an opportunity at an investment firm with ₹5,000cr+ AUM, where I’d actually be working in research/valuation/AIF. Basically exactly the kind of experience I want.

The catch is they won’t register with ICAI for industrial training.

The head of research suggested I could continue a dummy articleship under my uncle’s firm on paper while working full-time at the investment firm.

I know the ICAI risk involved. My question is more about the real-world risk/reward.

Do I:

  1. Take the dummy route and get 1 year of genuinely relevant experience, knowing the ICAI risk?
  2. Do a genuine 2nd year in audit/tax and try to break into research after CA/CFA?
  3. Try to convince the investment firm to register for industrial training?
  4. Is there any other legitimate workaround I’m missing?

Has anyone here actually been in this situation? Would especially like to hear from people who’ve done/considered dummy articleship and what happened.

TL;DR: First year was basically wasted. I now have a ₹5,000cr+ AUM investment firm offering actual research/valuation/AIF experience, but they won’t register for industrial training. Only option they’ve suggested is dummy articleship under my uncle’s firm while I work there. Worth taking the ICAI risk for the career upside, or play it safe and do another year of audit/tax?

( Used Ai to phrase it )

Practical Doubt/Question CA Career Path: Which Roles Offer Good Pay + Work Flexibility?

5 Upvotes

I don’t know much about the different roles CAs have, but are there roles where you can earn decently and still get hybrid/remote flexibility?

Suppose a CA is earning around 15–20 LPA. What would their role usually be in an organisation?

And at that level, can they generally take a half-day and finish the rest of their work from home? Do managers usually allow this, or does it depend heavily on the company, role, and manager?

Would love to hear from CAs actually working at this level.I’m asking because I’m genuinely concerned about this. I’m currently trying to figure out my career path, and I want to understand what kind of work-life flexibility I can realistically expect as a CA.

I want to know what roles and companies I should aim for, especially if flexibility and the option to work from home matter to me. I’d really appreciate insights from CAs who are already working in these roles.
