CA firm calls CA student “oversmart” for asking about work hours and stipend: Social Media Reacts

A CA student has recently shared on Reddit that he contacted a CA firm and asked for the timing and expected stipend. In reply, he was asked not to be oversmart.

He further added, “If my timing can’t be adjustable why i would be wasting time on going interview in these firms. Instead of i can go on to those firms with whom my timing will be adjustable. I was trying to save time of firms too. But these kind of behaviour leave dent on the firm’s image. These kind of principals exploit articles after getting registered. Stay safe everyone”

Now, the social media is reacting to this, calling this an early sign of the Toxic work culture.

Some also said that, he didn’t ask about exposure, mentoring, or specialization. Your questions focused on money and time.

These days we are seeing undue pressure on Chartered Accountants and CA Students. Few days back a 28-Year-Old Chartered Accountant Commited Suicide by Inhaling Helium Gas Due to Workplace Stress.

Last year in July, A young chartered accountant (CA), Anna Sebastian Perayil, passed away in Pune, and her mother alleged that excessive work pressure and stress at Ernst & Young (EY) contributed to her death.
