My question to CA's & to those who working after articleship.

Everyone talks about the high paying and the respect of this profession, but I want to know the reality. Do you actually enjoy your life now? Is there a real work-life balance where you get solid time for your family and for yourself too? And most importantly, can you actually stick to strict business hours, or does the workload always follow you home? Be honest

5 days are left for exams.This will be my 5th attempt at the CA Foundation this May. I studied effectively for the past two months, but now I feel like it's not enough. I have gone through the lectures and revision of almost 80% of the syllabus. I am also lacking in question practice and have not covered the MTPs and RTPs, but there is still improvement compared to my past attempts.

I don't know whether I should skip this attempt and appear in the September attempt, or give up on CA altogether.
