Midnight, I have no knowledge of CA applicants but from what I know some firms here do not really care about Masters or MBA’s. The last place I worked most people barely had any sort of Uni degree and were much higher on the ladder than me and most seemed to do so based on contacts and actual experience. In UK especially experience is key and in my opinion a lot of places take it over degrees and whatnot. When I applied for my job places didn’t really care where I had done my degree from or what grades I had or if I had done the postgrad or not all they wanted to know was if I had experience but then again its different for every field.

I actually spoke to someone who is in the field and he told me that MBA’s are not what they once were and said exactly what youre saying - that they look at experience of candidates first and foremost. And tbh it makes sense. For me personally, the “real world work place” is where i excel. I dont really feel like my time in the classroom was that productive.
