I’m proud to call myself a Chartered Accountant, a CA.
I earned the right to attach those two little letters to my email signature.
For the uninitiated, it involved three years of study, assignments and exams. All of that on top of a full-time job, juggling my new career in bean-counting. It was a grind. My peers would agree.
Of course, there was an easier way out.
I mean, CPA was an option…kind of.
It was less favoured by my old employers – typical Big 4 partner types.
Their strong preference was that you pursue CA. Not only because CA exams are much harder (I’ve heard CPA exams are still multiple choice, btw), but because all the partners were and still are CAs.
As Seth Godin says, “People like us do things like this”.
