Work Experience - Is Indian CA articleship considered

[vijaygopinathan]

Hi.. I am an Indian Charted Accountant and have 3 years of work experience with Deloitte as an Articled Assistant - Audit, as part of the CA course.. It was a full time job and i was on Deloitte's payroll too.. My responsibilities were primarily relating to auditing of Indian companies.. On many occasions, I had carried out the audits individually and had also lead audit teams in my 3rd year there..

Will this be counted as good work experience in top business schools in US..? I can get letters of recommendation from my superiors specifying the details of my role and duties there.. Kindly get back ASAP as I am trying to catch the first round of applications for Fall 2011..

Thanks..!

Hello,

Thank you for your apology; also for participating in the forum!

If you were paid, then it would be considered employment. (Similar situations are TAs and medical residencies, wich also overlap education and employment.)
