As a designation/degree yes CA is way harder. Although after graduation, work experience is probably the same. Intellectual work will greatly depend on the field you go in. A tranfer pricing CA will obviously do more intellectually challenging work as compared to a small town ca who only does tax filing. Same for law.
@kian plz introduce a rank/upvotes based mechanism to display posts on your homepage. It would ensure that dumb posts like these (probably posted by some insecure CA itself) wouldn't land on top of your homepage.
This is damn real thing. Many are buying LLB at around similar sum. It comes along with bar registration. I filed RTI to verify someone's LLB with a particular 'deemed' university & everything came out perfect. & people are getting degrees dated in 2006 years so no subsequent formalities.
if you're an intern or PPO holder hoping that the work gets "stimulating" after the first few years...you are in for a shock. There's a reason attrition is the most at 3-4 years PQE
Aage samajh jao.
