Senior with good experience, but jobless

Rejected BPO offer from TCS and TechM back in 2017. Sitting for six years at home. Prepared for CAT, XAT , IIFT, SNAP, TISS, XGMT, SRCC, NMAT, CMAT. Didn't secure a good percentile. Stopped preparing for MBA entrances and started preparing for govt exams. Still not able to clear any. B.com grad with accounting hon. No int in CA/CS. Zero experience at anything. Currently depressed to a point that I have no energy doing anything. Need help.

I have a friend who is a CA. She is currently working in Tech but wants to move to more Finance Oriented Roles. However, the problem now is that she has 2 years of Work Experience in Tech in Big 4 and now her profile is not as relevant for CA related roles in other Big4 or for that matter in finance as well. What should be done should she resign now and how’s the job market for CA’s at the moment? Guidance and help please.

I completed CA articleship in a very small firm . The only work i did was basic accounting in tally, itr filing of individuals, gst returns of shops while my friends were busy doing audits of huge clients. I'm now attempting ca final group 1 4th time . I don't know how i can get a job. What can a student like me do ?

Hi peeps, I am a CSE engineer + MBA from tier 1 institute and have total workex of 6.5 years out of which 3.3 years are in PM role in early phase startups .I got recently laid off and trying hard to get a job from last 1 month but I am not getting interview calls . Is it happening with other people too or am I lacking something ?

Hi everyone, would appreciate some suggestion/guidance. I, 29F, am a chartered accountant. In the first 3.5 years of my career I worked in a small CA firm where I could get exposure of small clients in all areas like tax, audit and other compliances. Later, I switched to a company in transfer pricing field and have been working here for 2.5 years. After having worked here, I realize I wish to mak my career in corporate tax and not in transfer pricing. But this would bring about a cut in designation and pay, not sure to what extent. Any suggestions on how I can make this transition easier without significant cut of pay?

I've been looking for a job for a while now and I've applied to numerous companies on multiple job portals. Only 1% to 2% of companies respond to my applications, and even they don't go beyond the initial introduction call, at the end of which I'm told "we'll be in touch" but they never call back. I've tried referrals too but without any luck. I have 4 years of experience at KPMG (the only job I've ever had) as a consultant and I have an MBA from IIM Udaipur. I think my CV isn't terrible either. I've had it reviewed from friends, family, ex-colleagues, and seniors from my college, listened to their advice, made the changes and applied everywhere, but there's no change. Help me. I would appreciate any and every advice y'all have to offer. Whether it's the bare minimum that I've been blind to all along or a couple extra miles, I wanna shoot a real shot.

I am currently working as a Senior Auditor in a Big4 with 5 years experience in statutory audit. I am not a CA, so either I have to complete CPA to become a manager else I have to be in the same designation. I am looking for an option to switch job. Any suggestions what role could I be exploring?

Graduated from NMIMS in 2023- BSc Finance. Interned at some marquee IB firms and startups. Working at an NBFC in an MD's office role- Strategy Consultant since then. Having done multiple projects for the company, I now want to switch to a consulting company where I can have a more diversified set of projects. But the market being the way it is, I'm not able to find reasonably good opportunities on LinkedIn. How do I go about the whole thing then? Would be grateful for any suggestion or referrals.

Heyy folks, I am a semi qualified chartered accountant and currently in search of job. It has been observed during various job applications submitted that the resume is not getting shortlisted by the employers. I have working experience in mid size CA firms and also worked as a freelancer performing taxation functions. Currently, I want to have exposure of big corporate houses where I can learn more and perform well further. While applying, it has been observed that I have to face rejection. I am not getting a clear idea about how to modify or make changes in my resume and LinkedIn profile so that employers become eager to know more about my work exposure. There is a well known saying that don't judge a book by it's cover but while looking for job opportunities, it has been observed that while buying a book, the first of all it's a cover of book which attracts the perspective customer to pick the book and look into it. I want to know that what a HR basically looks for in a job application of interested candidates. I also want to redesign my cover in order to increase chances of getting selected. It will be a great privilege to get positive response and guidance from the experts.
