A simple linkedin search debunks this nonsense about CA being so prestigious and elite that they only accept oxbridge types. These are just a random sampling of people I found online who are working in CA now.

Out of the 7 random profiles, only 1 came from MIT (somewhat comparable to oxbridge), the rest all appear to have academic backgrounds in normal universities or colleges. Even the 1 MIT guy did not join CA after his MIT MBA, he went to a number of places first before joining CA.

Another thing is CA has a ridiculous number of people calling themselves Directors or Managing Directors on linkedin for a mid-small hedge fund firm. Most are probably just Analyst/AVP types in large investment banks.

I personally don't think a Cambridge/Oxford/Harvard/CBS/Insead type fresh from school will join CA as their first or second job.

Good digging. I was doubting how come a company like CA who cannot even match starting pay for local banking fresh associates/analyst can afford to choose only top universities.

Looks like a lot of false rumours going around.

One thing that i learn is that if people (or employees of a firm) willingly put up a hell lot of info about their professional exp on linkedin, it's likely to be exaggerated or worse, plain ********. (Do u ever see bb traders/bankers or PE associates parading their **** on linkedin in full colour?)

Don't take things at face value.

CA is a medium size company providing a mish mash of financial services like pension advisory, fund management, administration outsourcing, governance reporting etc.

The compensation there is nothing to shout about and lower than even most general MNCs. For freshies looking to build a career in financial industry, try not to go there unless really no other choice.
