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.

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.
