but why? Let's say if the candidate is already SAP certified, but just lacking in SAP working experience, will the company still want to bond the freshie? on what basis then?

but isnt it the same in all industries? I'm sure no companies would like to take in a freshie, only 2 have him/her leave the company aftr 1 or 2 yrs aftr having gained some experience. But those companies dont bond their freshies either. So y more so in the SAP world as compared to others?

just my 2 cents, 1st class vs 2nd class don't make much of the differences.

Its book smart vs street smart which makes the different. many of my uni mates has ventured into the SAP market.. some 1st class, some 2nd class. to be honest, the high flying ones are the 2nd class street smart ones.

In SAP, always think of the experience 1st. Configuration exp is the most essential factor. Once you have master that, you can demand hence the money.

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.

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.
