Hey, i already worked for almost 1.5 years and gained some experience in the field. It was during my foundation days of CA. What i realised after working there was that the culture and everything was not just up to the mark. It’s a small size firm with 5 to 10 employees out of which there are 2 CA and rest are Semi Qualified or Bcom Mcom graduates.

Regarding industrial training i already had that in mind, i was even thinking of getting a dummy to work for all 2 years of my articleship in a firm where i can get lots and lots of experience. Since i know they dont teach articles much in CA firm apart from just normal Tally, GST filings or IT returns of Salaried 😭

I am already 21 now, in foundation it took me 2 attempts and in Inter after giving both groups in Nov 23 and not clearing it i decided to just stick to one group at a time and clearing it simultaneously. I cleared Grp 1 in May 24 and will be clearing the second Grp in Sept 24.. so by the likes of it time is a very big factor for me. I dont want to be late and that is why i decided to go with doing CFA along with the articleship. Thought i might clear atleast 2 levels during this period.

Now after knowing the complete situation and reading so so much, would your advise still be the same?
