Dear Safy,
It has been nice to see you aboard on this forum discussions. I hope we will see professional contributions from you as well in the upcoming days.
As far as job for an ACA from ICAEW is concerned, it is not a difficult task at all. Every multinational will welcome you provided they have some vacancy. You should take ICAP's membership and need not to qualify its two papers, if you dont wish to be in practice. However, if you have such plan or any such plan carries some possibilities, you can qualify those two papers in earlier days. Becoz as much earlier u will do it, that much easier it will be for you.
You need not to do CFA for the purpose of having a job in Pakistan. However, if you are interested in CFA or you foresee to change or divert your experience in future, it will be a good diversification.
In my view, you should try to join some big CA firm in Pakistan at the outset. Then you can see whether or not your interest suits the profession in Pakistan? If you would not feel it as per ur choice, you can use your contacts to get some good job in industry etc. From contacts, I mean contacts which you will develope while serving the CA firm. For this purpose, ideally you should remain in profession for at least three years. This will impact your whole professional life in Pakistan becoz all good jobs in Pakistan are indirectly controlled by such big firms, as the clients normally ask such firms for professionals whenever required or such firm advise their clients on recruitment matters.
If you dont feel the above arrangement desirable, you can directly send you CV to all multinationals, banks / state bank of Pakistan, SECP, CBR and other prominant industries, as per your own choice.
Hope you will find it workable.
Regards,
Kamran.
