Problem is that i would like to work and live in Pakistan. Here i am discouraged to join ICAEW by my employers, who by the way are ICAEW qualified, as they say ACCA is no different to ICAEW and I will be wasting time and should concentrate towards my experience. Is there an easy way out. Do you think that foreign companies operating in Pakistan would atleast realise ACCA. Or do i join a foreign company here and then ask them to transfer me to pakistan branches, then they wont be able to treat me differently !? or shall i come to pakistan pick up ICAP books and go back home. study come back to pakistan for exams but then would they recognise the experience i gain in the UK and count it towards article ship. Or do ACCA and then specialise in taxation and go to pakistan to work but the tax rules will be different! emmmm then corporate treasurers is another option. Am i in the wrong profession, should have done something else like medicine, 5 years bog standard, less stress and alot more money.
