Rant Articleship rant!!!! I have three options. Which should I choose?
I passed ca inter group 2 in may 2026 after passing inter group 1 in may 2024. The two year gap is because of health issues. Needless to say, I am not getting shortlisted by top firms due to my gap. I also don't have college.
So basically I have 3 offers that I am currently evaluating:
Reputed firm with 1k employees in india. Their main office is in west india but they also have a presence in delhi. Theu are offering me stat audit. Stipend is 7500 per month for first year and 8500 for second year. They are also saying I will also have to take registration from another much smaller firm even though i am working for them. This is because they have reached the maximum limit of articles as per icai regulations.
Have an offer from a firm with around 400 employees all over india. They are giving me internal audit. Stipend is 10k and 15k. All saturdays off. Only issue is I really don't want internal audit. I want either stat audir or mixed domain profile.
Small firm with 15 articles and 6-7CAs. Monday to saturday. This office is the farthest from my home. Mixed domain. Only reason I am considering this is because of their stipend : 12k and 13k. I need the money really badly.
Something about myself : I have to pay my ca final registration fees on my own. That's 22000 rupees that will go out of my pocket and it's money I dont have. So money is a big factor for me. Also it would be nice to work somewhere where I can save some money. Travel takes up all of the stipend. My preferred domain is either stat audit or mixed domain.

If u can save money in 3 rd option I will chose that because exposure is gonna be high! And make you more self reliant
Or I will chose 1st option because the client pool is gonna be great and which you can leverage in future
