CA Vs IAS Salary
After the post went viral, there were mixed reactions from the citizens. While some said there are perks that come with being an IAS saying, "It's not just about money,” another user commented, “Khud Ki Tareef Karne Ka Tareeka Thoda Casual Hai.”
“There is no comparison with any profession. The total seats of IAS in India are less than the total no of CA’s qualify every attempt. Every year only 180 IAS are selected in India. IAS cadre seats are based on the population and size of the state. CA is one of the best post-qualification courses for higher studies. People make their career in the area in which they wish to make according to their strength & ability. There are almost 2 crore students who clear class 12th every year and they choose their career in any field. No relation to salary, it depends upon the passion, knowledge & focus on anything we wish to do,” commented another.
