What should I do after clearing CA?

I am working in EY as an audit associate for past 3 years. The work is very monotonous and there has been no real growth. Please suggest a suitable course which I can take up.

    Most people will recommend you to start your own practice or take up a job in some MNC. Or at most they will suggest you to take up some course like CFA, CMA, ACCA etc.

    However, what’s lacking here is contemporary business skills which will be required to set up your business, or to achieve any leadership position.

    • If you are looking to setup your own business or a Finance blog – You must be on a lookout for a skill called ‘Digital Marketing’. There are numerous Youtube channels teaching it for free.
    • If you want to Climb up the corporate ladder fast enough – To reach a leadership position, you can opt for MBA from top IIMs or ISB. I am not degrading the CA degree, but telling you what might be beneficial in addition to that.

    Hope it helps!

    Since you have experience in audit profile you can easily get into FDD. There's great learning in FDD profile and after few years of experience you can enter into IB or Private equity. That said, you can also take up internal job transfers at EY and give direction to your career.
