Honestly, I just found out that the original Burger King had its license suspended. It's definitely a good move on the safety front, but I'm lowkey stressed that if they don't get it back, we'll never get to have that sauce again. Does anyone happen to know the recipe for that mustard sauce they make? If you have it, please share—I'm dying to try making it at home.
Hi everyone
I hope you all are doing well.I came across this sub Reddit a while back,while exploring the career journey of CMA professionals.
A little about me—I have attempted CA Inter multiple times but haven’t been able to clear it despite my efforts. After a lot of thought, I’m seriously considering shifting my focus to CMA. My long-term plan is to gain a few years of quality work experience and then pursue an MBA from one of the top business schools.
I’d be truly grateful to learn from your experience regarding:
• What life is really like after qualifying as a CMA and what package I can expect as a cma fresher
• The long-term future of the CMA profession and whether you believe it will continue to grow over the next 10–20 years.
• How AI is impacting the profession—whether it’s creating new opportunities or replacing parts of the work.
• The kind of salary and career growth a CMA fresher can realistically expect in India.
• How can I prepare to secure an All India Rank in the CMA examinations? What approach or study strategy would you recommend?
• What skills I should acquire if I want to become a valuable asset for companies and stand out in the job market.
• Whether you think pursuing an MBA after a few years of CMA work experience is a good career strategy.
• From your perspective, what are the pros and cons of pursuing the CFA qualification versus an MBA from a top business school? Which path do you think offers better long-term opportunities?
• Any advice you would give someone in my situation who is considering this transition.
Your genuine advice will help me a lot and will be extremely helpful
Thank you for your time, and I wish you continued success.
addition- I reached out to 5 to 6 cma’s who r actually working in industry and 3 of them clea said that don’t do cma choose mba in finance or continue doing ca even if u don’t pass earl these cma’s where working in audit and tax
rest of the cma’s with whom I talked really encouraged me to peruse cma and have asked me to pass each level on first attempt only and to do practical training in manufacturing sector only and have assured me that there r enough jobs and good packages in cma too
so right now I am hell confused pls help me out
Hi everyone,
I’m writing this because I genuinely need some honest advice from people who are already working in finance, accounting, or have experience with CA/CMA.
I just got my CA Inter result, and this was my 5th attempt. I scored 120 marks, so unfortunately I couldn’t clear it again.
I’m still preparing for the September attempt, so I haven’t completely quit yet. But if I’m being realistic, I’ve honestly started losing hope that I’ll ever become a CA. Five attempts take a toll mentally, and it’s becoming harder to convince myself that the next attempt will finally be “the one.”
Because of that, I’ve also registered for CMA Inter (December attempt) as a backup and possibly as a new career path if things don’t work out with CA.
I wanted to ask people who are already in the industry:
I’m not looking for motivational comments or false hope. I genuinely want practical, real-world opinions from people who have seen the industry.
If you’re a CMA, recruiter, finance professional, or someone who has made a similar switch, I’d really appreciate your insights.
Thank you for reading.
leaving ca feels like crime but it feels like I am in daldal of attempts not able to clear pls share real and genuine opinions ur advice will help me to shape my future
(I saw CMA salary and meri fatli bhai on linkdn and other job portals companies pay max 3 to 5 lakhs for fresh cma‘s )

Hello everyone,
I have been appearing for CA Inter Group 1 since Jan 2025 and I still haven’t passed. This attempt was my 5th one. I did study this time, but I’m still not sure whether I’ll pass or not.
My parents think I shouldn’t quit and should start CMA side by side, and honestly, I agree with them to some extent. If I don’t clear this attempt, they want me to give both CA Inter groups in Sept 2026 and also appear for CMA in December.
Has anyone here been in a similar situation? What did you do to get out of it? Should I continue, or should I follow what my parents are saying? Is CMA really a good option?
Also, am I wasting my time? I’m currently 21 and will turn 22 in September.
Please share your honest advice.
(I am under so much of self doubt and anxiety and ur genuine advice would be helpful and pls tell me if no ca,cma then what ? )
