Madeeha,

You have not mentioned the name of the firm which has refused to intake gals.

I dont appreciate any bans over gals to improve their knowledge and I am 100% in favor of gals to work in various professions to boost up the economy. However, there are certain problems with having gals in majority in the professional firms. The work schedule is very hectic in such firms and requires more than needed time and efforts input. (We can criticise the working schedules and hectic situation/late sittings at some other time but these are ground realities which are not going to change very soon). However, I believe gals can put in all professional efforts and knowledge which could be expected from lads normally.

I just explain you the reason of preference of lads over gals by the CA firms. This is mainly very much of general nature. Lads are considered to be more easily placeable and moveable than gals specifically on long distanced clients and out of station assignments. Further, the services of lads could be used till late nights and they normally dont much hesitate to sit long hours in the totally empty buildings/client offices to finalize their tasks. Further, dont mind but I have personally experienced that female students are prone to so much casual leaves, which I could never understand are why so much compulsory to manage their family affairs.

Just take an example of a firm which has 85 percent of its clients located at far off areas or at out stations. It would be very much dificult for such a firm to accomodate gals in substantial number.

One thing must also be noticed that except for the bigger firms, the small and medium practices normally have limited seats for registration of students and they dont have relaxed choices of selecting a mix of lads and gals to justify an ideal indiscrimination. If some firm has 15 seats only and it has to register 15 students, the quantum of gals would not be more than one or two due to some limitations stated above.

In my view, there is a need for gals to improve their image in the eyes of such firms. Yes, of course I know there are so many gals who are working on top seats in profession and are very good with their work. Still, if we wanna be professional then we must have to little bit change our behaviours. Girls should be somewhat more confident and vibrant and un-neceaasry casual leaves are never appreciated by firms. Confidence does not mean misbehaving or being bold. It is only confidence to accept challenges and work hard.

I know you will get some chance in some good firm. I personally accept that a bigger firm contributes a lot in personnel development. Still, the craze for only big 4 creates mental disturbance and hoplessness (in case of non-selection) in students. You must try for all well known firms. I think you are at Islamabad. You must try the followings

-AFF
-KPMG
-FRSH
-Delloite
-Anjum Asim
-Riaz Ahmad
-BDO Ibrahim
-Khalid Majeed

I hope you will succeed getting seat in any of these firms.

Best regards,

Kamran.
