Am a CA with 25 years of experience in mortgage loan underwriting in the housing finance space. Am 54 year old. Can i get a good paying job in USA (200k annual)? My current salary in india is 100 lacs per year..

Ans: One option would be to do senior executive courses from the top US universities and then look out for job. Easier would be if you company sends you to US and then you look out for a job out there. Lastly directly apply to companies in the US which are in the same domain.
Could be difficult to get a job directly - but no harm in trying.

Sir, i am Ravi working as an accountant in small scall industry. Basically I completed my B com in kannada medium, I am not well in english communication, can i get high salary job? Please advise.
Ans: Hi Ravi,

I understand your concern about English language proficiency affecting your job prospects and salary potential. While language skills are certainly important in many industries and job roles, it's not the sole determining factor for securing a high-paying job.

In the field of accounting, proficiency in English can be beneficial, especially when dealing with multinational clients or working in a global organization. However, it's not the only factor that employers consider. Your expertise, experience, and qualifications as an accountant are equally important.

To enhance your job prospects and potentially secure a higher-salary job, I would suggest the following:

Focus on your accounting skills: Continue to develop and refine your accounting expertise. Stay updated with industry trends, regulations, and best practices. Consider pursuing professional certifications like CPA (Certified Public Accountant) or CMA (Certified Management Accountant) to showcase your proficiency.

Gain practical experience: Look for opportunities to gain hands-on experience in accounting, either through internships or by taking on additional responsibilities in your current role. Practical experience can often compensate for any language barriers.

Improve your English communication skills: While it may not be a prerequisite for every accounting job, improving your English communication skills will undoubtedly open more doors for you. Consider enrolling in English language courses or seeking out resources to help you improve your speaking, writing, and listening skills.

Highlight your strengths: Emphasize your expertise in accounting, your attention to detail, and your ability to manage financial data effectively. Showcase any accomplishments or projects where you made a significant impact.

Network and seek opportunities: Engage with professional networks, attend industry events, and connect with individuals who can potentially help you find new job opportunities. Networking can often lead to discovering roles that are suitable for your skills and qualifications.

Remember, in any job application, it's essential to present yourself confidently and highlight your strengths. While language skills are important, they can be improved with time and practice. Focus on showcasing your accounting abilities and continuously working on enhancing your overall professional profile.

Abhishek Shah

I'm 25 YO, I've completed my medical degree in BAMS recently and brother is 17YO still in school. I've seen very severe favouritism of my parents towards my brother. I know he's a boy and all and in India, being a boy makes all of your wrong doings right! It's very emotionally distressing for me that even I'm the older child, my parents asks and discuss things with my younger brother but not me :( since the time he was born, I've always been neglected, I used to be a star kid, the getting 10/10 marks in everything. But eventually my self esteem degraded, and I stopped working hard, they have always pointed me out for my looks and my behavior, which was very hurtful. I've been away from my family for 5 years and it literally changed me, I was not depressed anymore, although my self esteem also affected my academic performance and my relationship choices, but somewhat I was happy. But now I'm home, and again, my parents points out my mistakes, my academic that I didn't get MBBS, that I don't even look good, and I'm crazy, I don't even have brains. And my brother who didn't even score 50% is asked and being discussed over everything what to eat, where to go, what car to buy, what TV to buy etc. I feel so sad and stuck here. I feel like for my father and mother, I'm invisible. Everyday I feel like when this life will end. It's even harming my studies. All I do is day dream about being loved by someone. I just want to focus on me and my studies. But I'm not able to do it.What can I do?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
If there's evident distinction in the way that your parents treat you and your brother, then it's pretty unfortunate.
One way is to actually talk to them about it and tell them how you feel, but I am unsure if this is going to work. The other way is to reassure yourself with your own self-love and be happy that you are academically strong. Use your degree wisely and to make a mark on your own by serving the society in your own way.
Someday, your parents may realize this and pay attention to you. But if you feel that things are going well for you emotionally, I suggest that you work with a professional who can guide you and your energies back into yourself without relying on anyone. This will help you tide over the hurt and the pain and move into a space of confidence.

All the best!
