I just don't want to die doing the same job. I was doing Computer Science during my college years.
My first and 2nd year of working I do configuration. My boss loves me so much I guess, when he changed his job scope, he took me with him. I didn't change job to do what I like... I am trained to love what I do.
Supply Chain was fun... you dealt with oversea counterpart most of the time. Work in different time zone depending which country you dealt with. Stay up all night because you having conference call (Webex) with US rep and etc. Too much fun is bad for family relationship, I don't want to give up on my job really, but my children want me to stop having meeting at home.
When you age... you priorities changed and so do I.
But one thing for sure is, I love SAP, it's a complex system and that what makes it interesting. I learn many new thing everyday. Though, I'm a bit too old to sit for the SAP cert, I do it because GLC requires professional cert in order for you to do project in SAP (but they didn't pay for the course, but I took MyProCert).
I knew SAP knowledge is a lucrative business when I saw the consultant PO value in the system.
It's about time for me to move on since I'm not getting any younger
Your pay is competitive for GLC - because they also have to compete with other GLC. My first and 2nd year of working I do configuration. My boss loves me so much I guess, when he changed his job scope, he took me with him. I didn't change job to do what I like... I am trained to love what I do.

MNC will pay more but not as much after you've to put in more effort.
GLC has better other fringe benefits to offset any other setbacks.
The point of the career is to love what you do.. not necessarily must take compensation as number one priority.
Also, there is no such thing as "too old" to sit for any exam or cert or learning anything new.
Getting a "paper" cert also doesn't mean that you're expert. I have to throw out a lot of paper cert candidates after job interviews because know absolutely nothing except for memorization of that the facts and answers only.
I prefer to hire experienced people.
