The movement I know I fu#ked up ..
I qualified CA Inter (I don’t have a degree and I’m not pursuing CMA) and I’m about to complete my CA articleship in 4 months. My exposure has mostly been in ITR filing, GST returns/registrations, LLP & company incorporation, MCA filings (AOC-4, MGT-7, ADT-1, etc.), Form 15CA/CB (now Form 146), basic Tally entries, preparing financial statements in Excel, a few statutory/international audits, and 1–2 tax audits.
Honestly, I’m feeling very scared about my career. I’ve seen many CA Inter-qualified people with 1–2 years of experience getting only ₹15k–25k salaries in firms. Is the salary range in companies also similar?
CA Final will still take me more than a year, and I don’t even know how many attempts it may take. Even after qualifying, I’m worried whether I’ll get a decent package. At least ₹50k–75k per month is what I expect eventually. Meanwhile, my BTech friends are already earning well.
Sometimes I wonder whether CA is really worth this much effort, or if I’m just heading toward a stressful life with low pay despite all the hard work.
