Ans: Dear Ms. Simran,
Once you decide and start your preparation with full dedication , you can clear CA too why you are thinking only about CA Inter . However , before you start your next move , I wish to suggest a few points like , Pl. assess your strengths & weaknesses .Pl. Plan your study and daily routine accordingly since CA is one of the toughest exams like CAT & JEE or NEET or UPSC . As you have wasted almost 4yrs in Banking exams and unfortunately couldn't clear . You have to work very hard . If fund permits you may join any good CA coaching institute. Best of luck

Ans: At a career crossroads, it's crucial to consider your priorities and interests, such as passion for CA and interest in government jobs. The time and effort required for CA exams or SSC, UPSC, and Banking Exams, should be considered. Financial considerations should also be taken into account, as if FINANCIAL STABILITY is a priority, returning to a job while preparing for a government exam might be a safer option. Alternative approaches include a hybrid approach, switching fully to government jobs for stability, structured work, and benefits, or trying one more CA attempt if you still have the motivation and confidence. If you're passionate about CA and believe you can clear it with focused effort, give it another chance. If you're unsure and more inclined towards job security, it's practical to shift towards government job preparation while working. Commit to your decision fully and avoid constantly second-guessing. All the best for your prosperous future!
