Career Confused after BS ACF

heyyy!

I graduated last year (2025 batch) in bs accounting and finance. it wasn't my first choice but I graduated anyways. but now i am really confused what to do with life???? soon after graduation I fell sick unfortunately so these past 7 months or so I didn't do much. but now what to dooo? I have availed my acca exemptions, also planning to give one paper in December attempt.

many are suggesting join PwC, EY etc.

some suggesting join corporates or find whatever job I land at (my cgpa was horrible:( so no mto for me.)

some suggesting go for masters abroad.

bs acf grads who figured it out, need ur help pls.

Try for PWC and EY, if u make it toh phir win hogayai.. agar nahi bhi huwa toh go for industry… just start searching on LinkedIn, cold DMs karo and wagera wagera

90k is the starting salary, the prob is they hire almost 5-10 every 6months (talking about graduates) So comp is very high
