After completing my chartered accountancy, I received four
job offers. Unsure about which one to take up, I approached
my mentor, Vinod Mehta, a CA, for advice. Surprisingly, he
picked AF Ferguson, the company that offered the lowest pay.
He explained that I ought to choose a company that offered
the maximum scope for enhancing my knowledge. My experience
in AF Ferguson turned out to be exactly as Mehta had predicted.
A rewarding career needs a solid foundation. Another valuable
piece of advice was from my boss at American Express, Anuroop
Singh. He wanted me to take on the operations division of
the bank but I was wedded to my accounting skills. Singh told
me that accounting was my chief ability but I should expand
my skill sets. I followed his advice and found the addons
especially useful when setting up BPO units for various companies
and also my own.
