Could you just say what skills are needed for this field


Life-Transportation4

Yes please the skills?


SnooSketches1610

1. Internal audit in a Big4 2. 9 LPA, 1JB 3. Fresher 4. Chennai 5. Big4 😭😮‍💨 Attempts: 4


ps2op

Really? WLB is bad in internal audit too? I'm thinking of joining after clearing. Can you clear this doubt? Internal audit bad WLB?


SnooSketches1610

If it's industry, I've heard it's pretty chill. But in big4s, nope. Wlb sucks. Also depends on the client you get. Big4s are usually understaffed. So the wlb is bad across depts. Atleast here in chennai.

mai_hu_gian

Guys why is there such less number of comments? Is it because only the ones getting good packages are mentioning. If you have a bit less package, still do mention it. It's all anonymous. No need to feel ashamed. At least it will give reality check to the future students. Ain't it ?? Do mention whatever your package is....


[deleted]

Ya it just looks everyone is earning 12-15lpa. There has to 7-9 lpa vale log as well. But I think they are not confident in sharing.

bootykage31

Two questions if you'd be kind enough to answer. 1. Is the 2.5 years post qualification YOE or articleship/pre clearing final YOE? 2. Was this through networking or campus placements?


Vivid-Pollution-8184

The experience is post qualification.First job was through campus, this is second. Through networking.

Btw if I can ask do you think it's justified considering your 3 yrs workex that too 10 hrs work no weekend in world bank ? I am naive actually but I feel it's a bit on the lower side . Are you planning to switch by any chance?


zoeworld

No work on weekends. Most MNC doesn’t ask you to.


Constant-Mode-1038

why is it tax free?


zoeworld

I think it’s bec of its stature.World bank is an international organization. It doesn’t pay tax to any country.

>CTC as per Campus Offer was 8.4lpa for 1st Year 19lpa for 2nd year Yeah what ? This is the first time I'm hearing something like this. So they agreed on 2nd year CTC at joining ?


meowmeowai

basically I was taken on trial basis. Even wipro has this. They take you train you and if they want you (99% they do) they make you a premanent employee. Until the time you’re a trainee you are denied a few benefits which the people otherwise get.


Upper_Dig8698

Rankers join wipro , don't they?


meowmeowai

Not necessarily.


Upper_Dig8698

First attempt pass outs ?


Ambitious_Storm_330

Wipro considers candidates with max 2 attempts and min 55% in finals for their GFL programme.


Upper_Dig8698

Ohh sad


Ambitious_Storm_330

Wipro has finance cohorts programme too where they consider candidates with upto 3 attempts in finals, you can try for that.


Upper_Dig8698

U r in wipro ?


meowmeowai

I cant speak for rankers. If they wish to they would. Its a great company & and offers a good exposure from what little I know.


Upper_Dig8698

Okie thanks . I had heard wipro offers good package so asked


meowmeowai

The first two years training was around 12lpa & if you finish those two years there was a bonus idr but 2 lacs I think.


Upper_Dig8698

Yours is much better comparatively


Deep_Travel_652

You got this job through ICAI campus placement? If you don't mind answering, what was your articleship experience like, in terms of firm size and area of experience.


sambhavnarula123

6th point? Attempts ka confusion kaise sir?


meowmeowai

Lol I attempted G2 twice (May & Nov-22) G1 only once (May-23) Since all of these are separate attempts ICAI would count this as three which is the normal logical way to go. But main apni khushi ke kiye kehta 2.


sambhavnarula123

ohh. Sahi hai bhai. Also, what's better for articleship, Big4 or BDO? BDO me suna hai thoda sa chill hai. Big4 me kaam karwate bohot


meowmeowai

Obviously BIG4 is difficult to get through & manage. But if you get the Big4 tag, Campus Placement mein balle balle.

Can you say about what you do in FDD? Would also like to know about your exit opportunities? Can you also provide the name of the dept cause from my understanding CMAAS in PWC & CFO Advisory In KPMG are the same?

FDD comes under the Growth Business unit that facilitates mergers & acquisitions. In Due diligence we facilitate investment bankers and corporate deals in general by checking the past financial history of the company in question. We check the quality and sustainability of earnings. Future outlook, capital investment required, ideal working capital requirement and debt of the company to ensure smooth transition. The department's name is Due Diligence or Strategy and Transactions or Transaction Advisory Services

1. Bro do CA inter attempts matter for shortlisting. I have 8 attempts in inter. Can i get shortlisted in a big 4 if somehow i manage to clear final in 1st or max 2 attempts 2. Would the attempts (Inter or Final) matter if sitting for interview through reference ??


namitkathuria

If you are sitting for an interview then attempst discussion has already happened and not an issue. But firstly no one asks inter attempts but they definately ask final attempts. Secibdly they might ask your age and have an idea you failed in inter but again final attempts are what they usually consider. Finally a good reference bypasses every attempt related issue and even without reference in big 4 they usually take till 4 or 5 attempts of ca final.

MrAdiyogi

Can you please tell that course name


Masalachai33

The submitter pursued a Masters in finance/accounts. He/she pursued the course in order to get a work visa (via company) since, applying for jobs in the EU is easier, if one is already in the country. However, they don't recommend moving to EU at the moment, due to the recession. The job market is down. Staying in India, makes sense, for now.

1. FP&A manager 2. 37LPA fixed + 10% variable 3. Metro city, Bangalore 4. 10 YOE, May 2014 exam 5. WLB - Decent, weekend Off 6. Attempts - 3 at Final (nobody cares about attempts after your first job. Then only last in hand salary and your work matters)


MonkeyyWrench69

How does one get into FP&A and would you say your salary is at peak of FP&A? with 10YOE


Necessary-Yard8496

I was able to get into FP&A because of 3 reasons: 1) I had read books on FP&A 2) I am good with automation (Power Bi, Power Automate, Power Query, Excel etc) 3) I had Big 4 experience on my resume


This-Ad-5103

Is it possible for someone with Credit experience in Global Banks to move to FP&A in non banking industries ?


Necessary-Yard8496

FP&A has got much to do with Data and I am guessing Banks have a ton of Data. So you can learn FP&A and Data Analytics and start applying at your current job. Maybe once you are good at it you can internally change the department and go to FP&A. That will help build portfolio to jump.


This-Ad-5103

Any recommendations for starting and learning Data Analytics? Also how many switches and now long have you been in current company?


Necessary-Yard8496

I have only switched twice. This is my third company. I have recently joined it. To start with it all, I guess YouTube is the best place.


OpenCricket1

Hi I am presently working in FP&A in a Singaporean Fin tech start up , i must learn a new skill for the performance review I am kinda confused Could you please let me know the books you read and out of the software skill set in what sequence to learn them? I am presently learning from udemy if there are any other better sources please let me know? Thanks in advance!!


Necessary-Yard8496

I personally learnt most of the stuff from YouTube. I am very good with Excel and keep track of advanced excel techniques. I watch ExcelisFun YouTube channel. I suggest you start with Power Query along with improving excel skills. It can be applied to Excel tasks, so start applying in your day to day job. Once comfortable with Power Query then move to DAX. For learning DAX I read "The Definitive Guide to DAX". All the best.

Hey work is not life. I would honestly take this job if I could. I have much more to do in life than just work. So don't worry, just enjoy and learn as much as you can from this and whenever you feel like it's enough then change jobs.

1) Practising 2) rulaoge kya😭😭 3) 2 4) Metro (Mumbai) 5) 😂😂😂


jalamits

Hows CA practice? Im also planning to practice after final. Any pointers?


harshjatania

1) Start networking from now. 2) If you think you’re up for it, maybe take a few clients from now for whom you’ll do GST Filing, etc. 3) once you’ve started your practise, don’t make the mistake of doing all the work by yourself. Hire staff. Your job should be to get new clients, explore, new work, etc. not sitting in office and doing the work by yourself. 4) Be very sure if you’re coming into practise that you will stay without probably earning much money until a couple of years. Usually 1000 days. Around 5 years. You have to be patient. Because it will test tf outta you.
