what are the career options for girls with a CA degree/background ?
Firstly, Congratulations on clearing one of the Best degrees - C.A.
Coming to career options. CAs do have lot of future career options. For eg, CPA, CFA, MBA, LLB (masters), Start-ups, jobs in industry, consulting.
Since, you have clearly mentioned not doing audit & accounting field. Middle East offers lot of opportunities in this field (Singapore, Australia and Canada does have quite a few).
What others options you have - Core finance (Invt banking, Private Equity mainly), Tax, Law, Advisory.
From above options, Law and tax - almost all countries have their regulations - Need to obtain country specific degree.
Core finance - MBA from one of the top B-schools (look for Ivy leagues - universities, if possible) will be really good option. I would personally prefer this.
CFA - niche profile, CFA is mainly focused towards Wealth Management. Now, if you want to make career in this profile, you can definitely do it and it is recognized all over the world as reputed degree. I have myself completed CFA. You can get job abroad in this field, however, you need to have some prior experience in this field. if you are in this field, you can start looking for jobs in abroad - my choice of countries - Singapore, USA, China.
If you are not in that field, please start looking for opportunities in that field in India / your home country.
I hope this clarifies.
Also, all companies registered under the Companies act need to get their accounts audited only by a practicing CA. And so you may also join a CA firm or start your own practice.
Finally, no professional course is meant for a boy or a girl, it is meant for anyone with good knowledge and interest in that particular field.
You can even in clases it pays you well and the timings are also very flexible.
