Faridabad CA Firm Calls Student ‘Oversmart' For Asking About Work Hours And Stipend
Last Updated: The potential employer responded unprofessionally, shaming the student for asking about work hours and stipend. A recent incident involving a CA firm shaming a student for asking about work hours and stipends before applying for an articleship has sparked a heated debate on social media. In a Reddit post, a student claimed that a Chartered Accountancy (CA) firm insulted them for asking about work hours and stipends before applying for an articleship. The student stated that asking such inquiries saves time for both sides. The student contacted a Faridabad-based CA firm and asked about working hours and the expected stipend. The firm responded rudely, calling the students 'over-smart" and telling them not to visit the firm. The comment sparked uproar online, with many labelling it unprofessional and exploitative. Sharing a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat, a Reddit user wrote, 'I contacted a firm and asked for timing and the expected stipend, they said there was no need to oversmart. Why so? If my timing can't be adjusted, why would I waste time on interviews in these firms? Instead, I can go on to those firms with whom my timing will be adjustable. I was trying to save time for the firm, too. But this kind of behaviour leaves a dent in the firm's image. These kinds of principals exploit articles after getting registered. Stay safe, everyone." In response to a comment on the post, the student revealed that the employer was a mid-sized Faridabad-based CA firm. The WhatsApp chat shows the student asking about the time and the stipend for the articleship. The potential employer responded unprofessionally, shaming the student for asking about work hours and stipend, and told them not to visit the firm instead of providing a straightforward answer. Many users sided with the student, calling the firm's behaviour unprofessional and exploitative. Some users disagreed, saying that the student's questions focused too much on money and time rather than exposure, mentoring, or specialisation. 'Oversmart is the most retarded word in Indian vocabulary; it's mostly used by corrupt people who are too afraid to answer some legitimate questions, a user wrote. Another added, 'Toxic work culture early signs." 'Time is okay. However, stipends need to be discussed only at the end of the interview. And it will be your wish whether to join or not after the interview," read the third comment. 'No offence mate, but the two questions you asked would probably result in me asking you to not come to my firm as well. You didn't ask about exposure, mentoring or specialisation. Your questions focused on money and time," an individual posted. In India, CA students are required to complete an articleship program under the guidance of practising chartered accountants as part of their professional training.

Faridabad firm calls CA student ‘oversmart' for asking about work hours and stipend; social media demands company name
A student has claimed that a Chartered Accountancy (CA) firm insulted them just for asking about work hours and stipend before applying for an articleship. The student felt that such questions saved time for both sides. But, the firm replied rudely, calling them 'oversmart'. The comment angered many online. People called the firm's behaviour unprofessional and said such firms often misused students after registration. Articleship in CA is a mandatory programme that students in India must complete. They do so under the guidance of practising chartered accountants. The Reddit user wrote, 'I contacted a firm and asked for timing and expected stipend, then said no need for oversmart. Why so? If my timing can't be adjusted, why would I be wasting time on going to interviews at these firms?' 'Instead, 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,' the user added. The student even shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat, which apparently proves the claim. Later, the student shared that he had joined a firm with 2.4 LPA. One Reddit user asked the poster to 'name and shame' the company. Many others also insisted. 'I'm an ex CA. I've completed CA but am working in a different field now. Tell me, I'll take care. I know how it feels to do articles in a toxic firm and know what to do with them,' wrote one user. While the poster did not categorically reveal the name, they claimed it was 'some mid size firm in Faridabad'. One user argued that, while asking for the timing was fine, the stipend needed to be discussed only at the end of the interview. 'And, it will be your wish whether to join or not after interview,' the user wrote. Another user had a strong disagreement about it. 'If they expect to know everything (educational qualification, skills, etc.) and make shortlisting with the help of a CV beforehand. What's bothering them to disclose the stipend upfront so that potential articles can also make their shortlisting based on their requirement or alignment, which will ultimately save time & effort of both parties? If not, it's HYPOCRISY only,' the user argued.
