Joining Firms!!! - Sunny84 - 10-30-2007
Salam,
Please advise me with regards to joining firms for Articleship. Currently i'm in Mod-D, waiting for March 2008 exams. What is the best time to apply for Articleship, is it after the immediately exams of Mod-d (i.e. before the result is declared) or after the declaration on result of mod-D?
If also heard about guys doing Interships in the Big4 firms. What is the difference between internship and articleship, and what do u think is preferable to secure a seat in Big4?
What are the prerequisites for joing the Big4? i've already heard alot about "reference", but is it really too necessary. Actually i dont have a reference, is it possible for me to join any good firm in this situation.
Actually, can any one of u do me a favour of providing his/her reference for me? Is that possible?
Another important question, which city do u think i should apply from for articleship, Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad?
I would be extremely thankful and appriciate a sincere and serious reply from all friends.
You can even mail me at sk_awan84@yahoo.com

apply after qualification through proper channel.
internship short-term in duration (usually equal to or less than 12 months)
articleship long-term in duration (usually more than a year)
nature of both are same; i.e. practical training.

Hi Sunny!
City does not matter. You can start anywhere but firm matters. If you get articleships in any of big 4, it is best and if you do in Hameed Chaudhry & Co. then its fine. Please check the grade of the firm before starting the articleships.
Regards!
