We have all heard that you should work before becoming a CA as work experience counts, and if you don't work, it shows gap in your CV, but the truth is far away from the reality.

When you work before becoming a CA you get ₹20,000- ₹25,000 but when you become a CA, you get a salary of a fresher. It does not matter whether you have work experience before becoming a CA also. Only if you work in the domain, there can be little increment. For example, if you worked in audit before becoming a CA and after Qualifying as a CA, you chose Audit, there might be some increment in salary, otherwise in most corporates irrespective of your work experience before becoming a CA, your salary is always of that of Fresher, even if you worked for three years or four years, before becoming a Chartered Accountant.
