To the esteemed members of IndianStreetBets
Little introduction here :- 24 m kolkata , B.Com graduate , got 91% in 12 , 81% in 10 , Passed CA foundation in 2019 , right now stuck in CA Inter .
The problem I am facing right now :-
1) To be honest my father is going to retire in March 2026 and this haunts to me my core and the very fact I am still not placed . 2) the fact I devoted much of my time to CA and it kept me occupied at all times I tried upskilling like learning excel or any other side course but everytime CA preparation limited me . 3) The regret :- tbh I had dreamt of having a good life , good money , good love but now it's all down to 0 .
The advice or career guidance I need :- I aim for getting into field of finance or to be precise I wanna switch from auditing , taxation , reporting to Financial analyst , investment banking , credit analyst , Merger and acquisitions etc etc fields . And from what I have researched for getting into these field I need MBA in finance + CFA or FRM or any other good combination. But the very fact my father is going to retire in 2026 can ik the smaller roles and how can I get into those smaller roles and the skills I need to gain or acquire for working in these fields . ( Examples of smaller roles from what ik from chat gpt - Finance Intern Junior Analyst Financial Data Associate Research Assistant Equity Research Trainee Credit Analyst Assistant Investment Banking Trainee Business Development Associate Operations Analyst Treasury Assistant Financial Planning Assistant Market Research Analyst Junior Portfolio Analyst Risk Management Trainee Valuation Associate Trade Operations Associate) Can anyone tell me or atleast guide me how to get into these kind of jobs so that I can pursue my degree ( CFA/FRM/CFP/CFI) at one side and gain nesecaary exposure in these fields from the very beginning .
Rant :- Tbh I feel suicidal , I have lost all hope of finding love and having a great life , to be honest facing all these financial issues , family issues , parental issues, emotional breakdowns , panic attacks all alone it's just feels so low and so down and so alone . I have lost 2019-2024 around 5 years being stuck like this but I don't want the same happened to me again .
So please 🌸guide me , well if anyone wants to mock me , name me shame me I am up for all that as I deserve those words but if anyone wants to advice me something or can tell me the right approach to get into this field of finance I will be highly obliged , I am open to all sorts of discussion and advices .
