Question about being qualified

My company that I did placement with want me to do my accounting exams but I really don’t want to go through another 3 years of exams and being on a shit salary. The only reason I’m contemplating is because it’s a guaranteed job and I know how bad the job market is. Is there anyway to shorten these exams because I’d do it if I could fit it into 1 year or something. Literally any loophole at all.

Thanks

How good is GT?

Starting my training contract for audit with GT pursuing the ACAs. How good is GT in Ireland and is there a big difference between big 4 and GT? Is it viewed as far inferior?

Further qualification after ACA

Hi all, I know many wouldn’t even contemplate doing more exams after finishing ACAs however as I was CAP1 exempt, I now have a further 1.5yrs on my training contract post FAEs. Wanted to see how many others decided to go on and do further courses.

The two I am currently looking at are the Corporate Finance Institute’s Financial Modelling & Valuation Analyst (FMVA) certification or starting into the CFAs. Regarding future career prospects I am still not 100% sure what field I would like to work in so looking to broaden my choices at least. Any other suggestions are welcome.

My thinking is that if the salary is poor for at least another year, might as well try get them to pay for something else!
