Career

sir i am commerce gratuate prepared 2 years for CA coul'd not succeed what are the diff career op for me

Ans: Shri, Some basic reasons for failing CA exams include poor time management, inadequate conceptual clarity, poor presentation skills, neglecting revision, and lack of practice with mock exams. To improve, create a realistic study schedule, focus on crucial topics, practice time-bound mock tests, and use reference books and ICAI study materials. Practice structured answers and follow ICAI language to align with exam expectations. Avoid rote learning and focus on understanding the "why" and "how" behind concepts. Take multiple mock tests and review performance critically to identify weak areas. Stay motivated by setting short-term goals and rewarding yourself for achieving them.

Despite not clearing the CA exams, there are numerous fulfilling career paths for commerce graduates. Some of these include the following, out of which you can choose the most suitable for you and you are interested in:

Financial Analyst/Investment Banking involves financial analysis, research, and dealing with securities, stocks, and bonds. Tax Consultant/Tax Advisor offers tax planning, compliance, and advisory services. Financial Planner/Wealth Manager helps manage finances and long-term wealth goals. MBA can lead to leadership roles in marketing, HR, finance, operations, and entrepreneurship. Banking and Insurance offers stability and growth opportunities. Entrepreneurship requires strong initiative and risk tolerance. Accounting and Audit roles enhance job prospects globally. Digital Marketing, Data Analytics, Human Resources, Stock Market Trading, Corporate Law, and Public Sector Jobs offer job security, stability, and benefits.

All the BEST for your Prosperous Future.

Relationship
Dear Dr. Upneet, I am writing to you with a heavy heart. I've been in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend Rohit for two years, and recently, things have been quite challenging. We both have strong career ambitions, and since we work in different cities, it's becoming more difficult to find common ground. We barely get time to talk, and when we do, the topic of where we might eventually settle down always leads to disagreement. I am truly in love with him, and the thought of not having him in my life seems unbearable. But at the same time, our futures seem to be heading in different directions. How can I find a balance between my career and relationship? Should I prioritise one over the other, or is there a way to maintain both without losing myself or the relationship? I really hope you can guide me through this confusing phase.
Ans: Hello mam, I understand that these days career is very important aspect of life. And now a days some people do prioritise career over relationship which is not completely wrong. If you are committed to Rohit and you feel that life would be incomplete without him, then just take a break and go to the place where he lives. Spend some quality time with him and try to talk to him. If he is better settled there and can't move, you may consider moving to his place and find a job, or talk about transfer or work from home.
Look, this is a critical step, and should be taken without ego. U should not think that i have to shift or i have to compromise, one compromise and you ll get love of your life. I hope it will solve your problem.
Plz do share with me your further plan.
Take care!
Regards
Dr Upneet kaur
