But I have one confusion at the age of 44+ will I get good opportunity after my CPA ? Please advise. Also I am looking for an opportunity to do Master's in Accounting and Analytics (STEM Designated) from a reputed US University . Please advise if it is good idea to move to US at this age for higher study ?

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to know that you have completed your Master of Commerce (M.Com) and possess 15 years of work experience. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that given your vast experience, at 45, pursuing the US CPA is a wise decision, as it can improve your employment opportunities in accounting and finance to a great extent. I would like to tell you that the CPA credential is highly valued and can lead to senior positions and specialized possibilities. Bear in mind that age can be an asset that indicates maturity and in-depth sector knowledge, both of which employers value.

Pursuing a Master's in Accounting and Analytics in the US is a feasible choice if you wish to expand your knowledge and acquire abilities in high-demand areas. A number of professionals seamlessly shift to academic programs later in their careers, and STEM-designated programs provide excellent employment opportunities in the United States. For this reason, moving to the USA can be beneficial as long as you are prepared for the personal and financial investment that would be required.

Ans: Hello Aniruddha,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your nephew has cleared his CA in 2021 and now wishes to pursue MS in Accounting and CPA in the USA. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that there are numerous benefits associated with pursuing an MS in Accounting in the USA on completion of CA. Doing so, deepens one’s comprehension of accounting concepts, broadens expertise in specialized fields of study, as well as supplements the CA qualification. Not just that, knowledge and reputation is enhanced, particularly in the US accounting business, through pursuing CPA (Certified Public Accountant) certification alongside.

I would recommend that your nephew takes into account prominent universities offering MS in Accounting,viz., University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Southern California, or University of Texas at Austin. The CPA prerequisites for each state is unique, nevertheless, states viz., California, New York, and Texas frequently have numerous options and thriving accounting businesses.

Remember that based on the location, university opted for, and the duration of the course, the costs can differ greatly, but could span from $30,000 to $70,000 or higher annually. Also bear in mind that based on variables such as the geography, work experience, and work role, salaries for CPAs in the USA can range from $50,000 to $100,000+ per year after graduation.

Individual choices, professional goals, as well as financial constraints play a key role in selecting a state and university for their CPA education. To make an educated choice, I would suggest that your nephew conducts an all-round study as well gets in touch with academic counselors or industry experts for advice.

Ans: Hello.
Have you analyzed your failure in 2 successive attempts in the NEET examination? If yes, then the question is what you have done for improvement and not then again the question arises why not? Here, I would like to suggest you focus now only on the NEET examination which is your 3rd attempt. Don't think about any other options right now till May 2025. After the NEET exam is over, you have ample time to explore the options available. Depending on your score in NEET 2025, we will guide you at that time. But yet, if you are confused, then looking towards your question and anxiety, you need personal counseling where you can express yourself face-to-face. Only after the NEET exam is over, you contact a counsellor for one-to-one counseling. Till then, keep mum and focus only on NEET. Take this exam as your mission and project. Work on this project, apply forces from all sides, success is there which is waiting for you eagerly.
Best of luck for your bright future.

Some tips: (1) Analyse separately Phy, Che, Bio (2) Prepare a list of hard topics (3) First focus more on the topics which are easy for you and then try to excel in hard topics (4) Appear more and more online/offline examinations (4) Prepare your short-cut file for all subjects (5) Prepare a file for each subject having only synopsis of all chapters (6) Try to solve the problems at the lightening speed and observe the period on regular basis (7) Create your time table to revise the topics on regular basis (8) Do not hesitate to ask your difficulties to your teachers, if you have joined to offline classes (9) Keep the habit of marking the answers which you know 100%. Don't guess the answers and mark them, as there is -ve marking scheme. (10) Be calm, quite, and smiling all the time to release the tension and always have a healthy chat with your friends.
