So like I'm 21, is it too late to start pursuing ACCA? Exemption I'm only getting like BT (F1)

Also is the job market in India accepting of ACCA, or they still prefer ICAI CAs (ofc the latter would be more preferred, but is ACCA kept at par? in terms of pay)

Its not late at all.

#

The preference of the industry depends upon the role youre looking to go into

#

For Tax related roles, CAs are preferred by far. Same goes for Audit & Assurance. It will be difficult to get into these roles as fresher as these are traditional roles and CAs have a hold over these

Most people give 2 papers per attempt

#

and there are 4 attempts in a year

#

so if everything goes right than you'll be done in 1.5 years

Makes sense. I am planning to like get my knowledge level exams done before new year

dire tiger
#

Also, make sure you give atleast 200 hours to each paper

Aight, I'm using Kaplan and self study rn, probably would need some coaching for higher levels

dire tiger
#

Have you studied these things before?

#

ah nice. at worst you'll begin with executive role as compared to CA which start at AM role

#

thats the worst case scenario

#

once youre in, everyone is the same

rare viper
#

That's fine, then the growth trajectory is at par, no?

dire tiger
#

Correct

rare viper
#

One level below, but even that can be overcome by switching

#

@dire tiger aight bro, thanks a lot! What field do you work in if you don't mind sharing?

dire tiger

rare viper
#
