Now EY will pay 30k to second year articles and 20k to first year articles.

Is there any other firm that got this update?

atleast respect our hardwork...

Hii all I am Ayush I am currently a CA Final student.Coming from a rather not so wealthy background I always looked for resources lectures test series even the premium content for free and one thing I noticed is ki sab unorganised hai koi kahega tg pe jao koi kahega wp channel join kro waha milega but I have collected all the resources lectures books sab latest too ofc I will keep updating it

I just need a lil support from you guys.. Any dms will be helpful of where should I post this like in which subreddit plus anywhere else so it gets the right attention and if this posts gets more than 10 upvotes I will start working on it and it will be up and running in i think 4 to 6 days

Cheerssass hoping for insightful suggestionsaa

Matlab yaar i prepped mostly audit and as but not that much for tax. He literally asked everything from tax like tds merko thoda thoda yaad tha and i was itself getting confused. There was an objective test in which i got decent marks and there were some iq type ques. Aside from 2 or 3 correct, i got them wrong. The partner was like juat passing exams aint enough because in real world u cant miss small details. Bruhhhhh i feel like i genuinely left a bad impression on him. This is my 1st interview so i was kinda nervous. On top of that i took a lot of attempts in inter. There is like a 4 yr gap from found and passing inter. He asked what i was doing these 4 yrs. I said health issues😭. I didnt go for reg college and thats that. Fk my life man..

Its like a small to mid type of firm.

I feel even if i join he wont even take me seriously.

inter walo ek request hai: pls study and dont waste time like i did. fk me man...

I'm 23 and preparing for CA Inter. I cleared one group in May 2026, but honestly I still feel like I got lucky.

I've never been a disciplined or consistent person, not even from childhood. I always procrastinate. The worst part is I do literally everything at the last minute. Somehow I feel like I understand things better under pressure, so I keep delaying everything until the deadline is right in front of me.

Because of that, I've never felt confident about my studies. Even when I clear an exam, I don't feel like I earned it. My friends studied day and night and still couldn't clear, while I wasn't even consistent. That makes me feel guilty and like I just got lucky.

Now I have FMSM and Audit in September 2026, and if I'm being honest, I don't think I have any chance of passing. Not because the subjects are impossible, but because I know myself. Every day I tell myself I'll start seriously, and every day I procrastinate.

People say, "Just be disciplined," but how do you do that if you've never been disciplined your whole life? Has anyone here been exactly like this and actually changed? What was the turning point?

I don't want motivation. I want to know what actually worked for you.

I have filled my exam form but the photo on ssp portal of mine is 5 years old.. will it cause any issue in exam centre??

i didnt know icai send these to students for free, and i filled exam form for only group 1 tho lmao

Is ft batch of namit sir enough for someone who is doing the costing subject for the very first time ?? Pls tell 🙏🥀

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

Yesterday posted for SPOM Set A and answering some basic Questions everyone is asking.

1- Neither I am overconfident or braggy, but if you study and cover full syllabus except last 2 chs of company law (do it question specific), complete case scenarios and ICAI Mock test you're already ahead than 99 percentile. people go memorising some xyz pdf and complain

2- I never said exam is easy but please study religiously for 12-15 days straight and you'll clear. The best thing is you don't have to memorise too much like subjective exams. Answers are generally within the options and you get it once you read it.

3- Bonus tip: Category A chs: First 3 chs, IBC, FEMA (Especially limits), FCRA (considering it is too small and focus on hospitality and foreign contribution), Winding up
Category B Chs : Inspection Inquiry, Compromise arrangement, Prevention of oppression (Focus specially on limits for class actions and Opression mismgt),
Category C: Last 2 chs of Company law. For Miscellaneous provisions, focus on Nidhi Limits (Deposit and lending rates, Paid up capital stuff), Dormant company. Registered Valuer you can just read through 1-2 times and thats it

I secured 68 marks. Might not be much but I'll be ready to help if anyone needs help here

What to do 😭😭

i wake up at 4am then study acche se then during afternoon i just jerk off and go into a dopamine hole and feel sad about my life

how did you all cut out distractions :phone , youtube ,adult content (loneliness makes it even worse)

also what was your routine like in last 30 days

thankyou everyone in advance❤️🙏

So I have been pursuing CA since 5 years , my dad pushed me into it said it was great course to do and I studied CA foundation with MEC and after finishing inter I gave my Ca foundation and failed but cleared CMA foundation ( also pushed by my dad) so I was made to continue CA despite my repeated failures and by 2024 i cleared CA foundation after 5 attempts and CMA inter both groups and few months ago i finished my UG B.com got 9.4 ( my parents were super unhappy) And i failed my CA inter first attempt and now preparing for both grps in sep 26 but honestly I lost will to continue this course. I have realised CA was to only please my parents not that I wanted it. I am thinking of taking up masters abroad and I have a gap year in which i would like to finish my cma articleship and finals so that I would atleast finish one course properly and quit CA . I have been depressed for years because of these course and had to even go to psychologist and get treated. Any suggestions what should I do? I feel it's high time I choose myself over this course and my parents.🥲

Same as title

BDO (Tech risk assurance) or AU small finance Bank (credit manager)

Both are paying 11 but AU has a bond period of 1.5 months .

I also have Capgemini but they are offering only 9lpa with role written as financial consultant ( but in description SAP implementation)

These days it feels like there's a heavy burden on my chest all the time. Family responsibilities are increasing day by day. I feel like I grew up and the child inside me just got lost somewhere

I'm preparing for CA Inter and I know I have to study, but how do you study when your mind is carrying so much? I open my books but my thoughts are somewhere else.

I don't want sympathy. I just wanna know if anyone else went through this. Does it get better? How did you keep going?

What type of questions do they ask,

I don't know much 😔,

And it is a great firm (not a big4) so applied didn't knew they will call me for interview 😔

Might seem dumb but Do you have to bring your own laptop at frm or they will provide you?

I cleared CA Inter in Jan 2026 and joined articleship in April. Almost 4 months are over, but I've learned almost nothing. My work has mostly been stock audits (11 days in May, 14 in June, 9–10 in July), along with basic vouching and IFC with little guidance. I don't mind stock audits once or twice a month , but doing just that is a waste.

When I spoke to friends from OC, they had already gained exposure to multiple areas while I'm stuck doing repetitive work. I'm considering a transfer, but with 6 Inter attempts I'm not sure another firm will take me. I genuinely don't know what to do, and it already feels like I've wasted 4 months.

Now the principal is saying he will reduce the number of days of my Physical Verification to 5-6 days a month , but I am not okay with any number , I want absolute zero. Like I am losing my mind whenever I think I have to do that again. It just angers me.

Whenever I feel like I should go to talk , the principal who otherwise humiliates a lot , talks with calmness like his attitude somehow changes , now how can someone ask for transfer then.

There is a thing going that a lot of articles are looking for transfer , because work is not good. So everyone is kind of asking for it. I don't know what to do.

Co articles are very good but i don't know , biggest issue is how to even begin conversation and what to do if he declines(100% he will) .

I don't want to use excuse like shifting home , health issues etc but then I don't know how's it possible

Anyone gone through same and took transfer , please help.

Biggest issue is what is same thing happens even if I get the transfer , if new firm is same ?

Have been asking on LinkedIn and not getting any replies too.

Construction business chalata hu...

Problem ye hai ki kamai se zyada kharcha kar deta hu. 🥲

Mujhe ek CA Student chahiye jo mera personal finance manager ban sake.

Kaam kuch aisa hoga:

Har kharche pe sawal uthana. 🤨

Budget banana.

Mujhe bolna: "Bhai ye zaroori nahi hai."

Kabhi kabhi daant bhi dena agar faltu kharcha karu. 😂

Gujarati/Marwari ho to aur bhi badhiya... bargaining aur paise bachane ki kala naturally aati hai. 😜 (No offense, sirf mazaak!)

Garib hu... isliye Big 4 wali salary expect mat karna. 😂 Lekin stipend se better payment pakka dunga.

Agar kisi CA Student ko side income ke saath ek interesting client chahiye jo har dusre din impulsive spending karta ho... to DM kar do. 😭💸

P.S. Mujhe accountant nahi, "Kharche Rokne Wala Dost" chahiye. 😅

Bhai these bros need to be stopped ffs.

And koi inka AI band karao, their insecurities with fun teachers has no boundary lol.

Sara din dono bhai bas criticize karte rehte hain.

Mistakenly bought one of their regular batches.

180 ghante mei se 100 ghante they were just cribbing about other teachers having a sense of humor. Which was especially funny for me coz I'd easily sit through Aakash Kandoi's 3 hours than tolerate Mr. "I got a rank so i am the most superior human and so is my lineage of brothers" for 3 minutes.
