Even after CA it is very difficult to get into these but you can also get there by doing MBA from top tier colleges or even Bcom from colleges like SRCC.

People who claim getting 60-70-80 LPA still get around 1.5-1.75 lakhs per month in hand after slogging for 12-15 hours a day, working all Sats and Sundays and this doenst even include their travel time and air time and all other efforts. A person working 8 hours a day in a tier II or tier III consulting mostly (hybrid or wfh) firm earning 20-25 LPA also gets around 1.15-1.3 Lakhs per month. His per hour value is higher than those working at Maang, Faang, BCG and Bain and what not. So, don't fall for the glitter. All that glitters is not gold (true every time)

@@pineapplemocktail US is not a benchmark anymore. There are many problems in the US or other developed nations. Frankly speaking quality of life is very subjective. There are many things easily available or accessible in India that you can never have in a country like Canada or European nations. Also Nursing pays quite well in the middle east and Europe, while truck drivers are the biggest earners in Canada. So, it's all debatable. People in India are slowly realising the American dream is just that, a dream. As I said in my main post, everything that glitters is not gold, true for US and Canada as well.....😅

@@pineapplemocktail PPP is not just about fuel and electronics. If by electronics you mean "Apple", then you are living in a fools paradise. How much is a weekly expense for a family of 4 in a US city (if I consider living a middle class life, with home made meals, entertainment once a week, eating from outside once a week, 5 days of travelling to work and school) and compare that to India, you will be surprised by how weak the dollar earnings is. Anyone who earns more than 20 LPA in India will easily fall in the top 20% of earners in the US which is not bad. Which means a person with 20 Lakhs per annum salary is richer than 80% of US people. I would take that anyday.

I have worked in consultancy and Investment Banking. Consultancy pays less at the start but work hours are lesser (except E&Y). Investment banking pays more but works hours are much more (especially when deals are more). The best case scenario is usually first start with investment banking and then switch to consultancy because its very difficult to switch from consultancy to investment banking. Choosing between finance and consultancy depends on where your priorities are.

When was he able to start earning this 3cr+ income ? Like some real good talents will start earning over 1cr+ income by the time they turn 27 in consulting, and by the time they turn 32-35, they start earning close to 4-5cr and upto 10cr in a good year. Like time ka panga hai na. Tumhare uncle agar 40-50s mei 3cr kamate hai toh late hogaya na, yaha bacche 26-27 k Umar mei per year 1crore kama rahe hai, one more good thing is that you will get immense support if you want to open your business as you have networked with 100s of well established people in good companies of all sectors, you also get to learn about so many kind of businesses and learn to solve many kinds of problems, making you ready to start your own business, fir toh sky hi limit hai.
