How careers grow after the first job
On our placement page, we note that students have typically moved to their next job in 15–18 months, with salary hikes of 20%–50%. These are typical outcomes with placement support; results depend on each student’s effort, interviews and employer decisions, and they are not a guarantee.
The step that helps most is learning return filing and finalisation after you start working. Our GST course in Kolkata (Accounts Expert) runs every Sunday for 8–10 months and covers GST returns, TDS returns and accounts finalisation. With experience, students may move into roles such as:
