Sir I am done with my 9 month of articleship from SC Vasudeva (among top 20 ca firms of India) in Risk advisory department where i rec’d exposure in Internal Audit of ITC Limited and Happy forgings limited and there i did Audit of Inventory, logistics, fixed assets and other finance areas…and learned audit of P2P, Production and O2C just by involving in meetings of same with client, but i think spending 2 more year of articleship in risk advisory department is some where will be a monotonous task…with stagnant growth !
So should I change my firm to get exposure of other fields !? Or i should continue here itself for gaining expertise!
If I should change than in which field i should go for my remaining 2 yrs approx articleship
And if I should continue then how i can get practical knowledge of other core areas which a CA is expected to has.!?
Please guide me for no future regrets and for getting high paying jobs in big companies
Hello Divyanshu
9 months is a fairly small time horizon to think about stagnation and impaired growth. You have just about started and Risk is a fairly deep domain to be in. Accordingly, I wouldn’t recommend you to shift out of this domain in such a short span of time. It would rather make sense for you to grow in this domain and independently lead assignments and close them. There is ample learning opportunity in the domain for you. You could explorer newer opportunities in the same domain with one of the Big4 if the firm is an issue.
However, if Risk as a domain is not exciting you as the same is very process heavy and does not talk about the fancier world of treasury, fund raising, IB.. then that’s a different issue. In that case you can explore opportunities in the domain of core finance consulting within your own organization or explore opportunities outside also. You may want to explore programs like CFA / FRM to bolster your chance of getting through opportunities in Transactions or Financial Services Advisory.
Trust the above clarifies. Should your want to connect for a brief discussion, please feel free to WhatsApp on +91 9073900601
