Pl(e)ace-ments

After 2 years of PE II and 3 years of Articleship, i finally became a CA; right in midst of a recession!! I dont think there will be a more sacred time for job hunting than these recession times. Almost every major company has put a freeze on new recruitments. But that doesnot seem to be affecting the ICAI in anyway. They are still optimistic about the campus interviews eventhough in some centers not even a single company turned up for the campus placement program.

The 2 days orientation program was no difference. I herd the word 'opportunity' more time than 'AS' or 'Tax'. I attended the program in Bangalore, where 7 companies (22 companies came in the last edition of interviews) have turned up for campus placements.

Interviews in Banglore starts on 16th April.
