y?

a lots of sev.1 issues everyday..and ibm sucks..
even the expert oso looking for new job..

If it's Accenture, it might make a big difference.

The 1st class or 2nd class can help determine which workforce the candidate lands. Higher achievers might get the consulting workforce, which exposes to functional configuration job experience. Those skillsets are valued higher in the market compared to programming roles that solution workforce gets.

I shall not comment about Accenture in depth but i think Accenture focuses more on building management skills.

in terms of fresh grad, don't be discourage. Alot of interviewers also judge based on the way the candidate expresses themselves during an interview. Communication is important. I remember giving a recommendation to the management on a candidate with 2nd class rather then 1st class before.

Hi people,

Just want to put a reminder to all who are interested to join SAP. Being SAP beginner myself, SAP is not the only way to get high salary. You can do it if you master UNIX or Java. So does every other technology including Oracle DB. SAP just like Unix, Java, Oracle as long as you master it you can demand more. You have to pave the way as hard as people who do Java and UNIX. Doing SAP is not much different than the others.

Do not think if you go SAP, you will get into shortcut and earn high salary. Dont fall into this dream of earning easy and big money. If you dont prove you are technically competent in all technologies, functional areas, plus ability to communicate and do impressive presentation with all levels of people in the organisation; including MNC CEO, COO, CTO, all the company bigshots, forget about earning big bucks. I tell you straight now.

Strongly agree thank you

What if SAP products fail? Technology moves so fast, today's hero can be forgotten in half a decade. It is the communication skills and project management that matter in the end, that keep us gainfully employed.

m*x** will make u s**k.
@apigeniuz, are u IBMer working in m*x** team? technical or functional?

it is a currently a black hole there whether technical or functional..

those ibmer, i know who you are there...

Half a decade? Impossible bro. MNC spend millions for their SAP system and change them due to SAP downfall in a decade? Don't see it happening dat soon. If SAP falls, many will continue to fall as well. Still, SAP will still have the market to maintain existing customer just like how AS400, JD Edwards are doing now.

I met many candidate who just want to get into SAP thinking its all roses, sit around consulting people and earn tons of money.

I agree there are many who do earn lots, but its not as juicy as it was 10 years back.

Some I met even willing to take pay cuts just to get into those roles.

Just that the implementation and upgrade contracts will dry up but boss you understand I'm not making a point about SAP's shelf life (no one can guess that!), but about the skillsets which matter to us.

Say if we're defined by our technology alignment (SAP specialist) instead of our soft skill set (project manager), when SAP implementations dry up we would be left fighting for support job scraps with the WIPROs of the world. Project managers can carry their skillset to any technological implementation independent of SAP.

im not ibmer..im vendor for ibm..
but im supporting that account like no end..
