lads,
maybe one of you can help me out. I'm not a Finance/Business/Accounting grad, I'm an Engineer. Graduated about 5 years ago, but, God knows why, I'm really ken on switching into accounting.
I've looked up the CIMA site, seems I could do the courses in my own time and keep working where I am, or I guess the other path is to try and basically be recruted as a grad in one of the bigger places and do my 3 year stint there is it for my Prof Exams to be come Chartered Accounant.
So listen, can anyone offer words of advice etc etc. I'm only 28 so not massively old, but obviously the biggest problem is how much of a salary hit I could be looking at. So if one managed to get CIMA done in your own time, any idea what your starting salary might then be for the 3 years expericcne you need to become fully qualified.
or if you jumped straight into an accountants office tomorrow to start off training to become a chartered accountant, what kind of cash would you be on?
Thanks for any help guys!
