Based on personal / professional experiences, how do you react when a CA is your colleague? especially useful if the person is doing non audit accounting work.
Met many of them during my MBA, they all come with a baggage of “cracking CA is toughest/smartest deed”. It might be a tough thing but in India everything is tough. Found majority of them bit more theoretical rather practical. Maybe the protected environment of homes (as CA is a non-residential program) make them less pragmatic especially against engineers.
Spot on
They're pretty smart and hardworking but often come with a sense of superiority (this is a generalised perspective from my experiences). Many non-CAs are proportionately very smart and hardworking too so CAs aren't really special in that regard and the sense of superiority is misplaced.
Our MBA law professor once said: If you can read long boring stuff which no one wants to, and can translate that to other folks to advise them, then you will be the sought after profession.
Be it tax, accounting, law, IT, product docs, researcher or even religious texts. When the other person believes you know more than he does, you have power.
can gpt do this?
Would you trust it's output? If anything goes wrong, could you find someone to hold accountability?
Usually very smart. The ones who crack out of the finance shell and do business or product roles. I’ve seen pretty smart CAs
Especially the ones in top percentiles. Their thinking as sharp and astute as some of the creme de la creme of Tier-1 MBAs. Else it's better to take their words with a slight pinch of salt
