Hmm, I've got an internship at PwC under the group System and Process Assurance (SPA)..

Does this have anything to do with SAP? I have plans for my career in the future to be SAP FICO related as I'm studying Accounting Degree now.

Thank you.

Anyone got any idea for this, would really be very helpful to me. Thanks alot

I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it but I really think you should go. PwC is a big company and having them in you CV can be really2 helpful

Thanks alot for this reply, it really does help.

I just have one last question I want to ask, I foresee that my career ahead of me involves around SAP FICO.

I recently got another internship offer from Deloitte under the SAP department. Should i go for PwC System, Process Assurance, or Deloitte SAP?

Sorry to be asking so many questions in this section, I'm really facing a huge dilemma.

I have SAP ERP BP certification.

can this certification helps me getting any SAP related jobs?

any company would u like to introduce me?

but BP is stands for best practice, it doesnt mean any specific modules although we learnt many modules during the course.

That cert isn't sufficient in the sense you do not touch on customization but rather the general outline the best practices of business processes. Nevertheless, it's an "edge" compared to other non-certified freshies who wish to enter the SAP Market.

Perhaps you can try  ObTech or Croseus IT as this BP-ERP cert caters more towards  SAP B1 (smaller scale of SAP). Do note that the $$ of SAP is in the mySAP or for some old industries the R/3 market.

This thread is to resume the previous CLOSED SAP Talk thread as the original TS had some issue with his company for revealing too much info. As requested, I'm starting this new thread for us to discuss SAP. The market is still good but demand not as high as before (90's). Stories about High paid SAP jobs is still valid if you work as a Contractor (paid daily rate) while Permanent is still good but less than Contractors. Currently the market in Malaysia focuses more on Support roles as most of the MNC here had already gone live. There is a saying "They are giving you high pay to compensate your learning curve". Therefore Contractors who is doing Support is often paid higher compared to those doing developments or project roll outs.

What is SAP?

Consulting companies in SAP (Malaysia)
---------------------------------------------------


If you want to enter the SAP field, try your luck with the above consulting firms. What they do is, they deploy consultants over to client side for projects,developments,testing and support(rarely heard but it's possible). It is a good learning place because you are exposed to numerous projects of different modules, environment, architectures, etc. Normally these consulting firms would hire Fresh( fresh graduates, or non SAP-experience) as part of their annual graduate intake programmes. However don't expect big bucks during your early years in SAP.

SAP Users or companies that uses SAP are mostly comprises of Fortune 500 (Or MNCs in Malaysia). Just name any MNC or GLC in Malaysia and they are very likely a SAP User company @ End-user. Companies like Shell, BAT, Colgate, F&N, Astro, GAB, DKSH, Exxon-Mobil, Scomi, TNB, Telekom, Sime Darby are few of SAP Users in Malaysia. These companies will either engage the Consulting firms listed above to implement their SAP systems, or they will set up their own Internal SAP team/department. These End-User companies are most likely your 'target' if you are looking for high pay (RM2000 per day anyone? <--- yes it is possible. Just because you never heard of it b4 doesn't mean it don't exist) job. If you already have experience in SAP, most likely you will get calls from Headhunters to place you in these MNC/GLC for support roles. End user company do take in Fresh who doesn't have SAP experience but beware of bonds. If you don't mind bonds, it is a good place to start too, then slowly moving towards Consulting firms.

Outsourcing companies like T-systems, EDS, Averis, etc handles part of an End-User operations. There are cases where End-User company outsource their entire SAP support department to these companies in attempt to cut cost. They act like a Shared Services Center/Operations that handles more than 1 client/company's operations or systems.

No, it will not. BASIS is a totally different thing completely.

It's easier for an ABAPer to become functional, than a BASIS to become functional. This coming from a guy who did BASIS(User Authorization & Security) [ A super small section of BASIS, but a lot of work] for a year. Fortunately I manage to get into the MDeC job camp and obtain a functional cert (MM-Materials Management).
Remember: BASIS is basically a section/module by itself. The pay is not bad as well, but most of the BASIS jobs out there are on shift as you will be most likely supporting European countries.

P.S:
Axon Solutions/ HCL Axon is currently recruiting for newbies in functional module. Just do a search in the jenjobs/jobsdb/jobstreet. The pay isn't exactly the top of the line, but it's an extremely good starting point for any newbies.

@HybridMaestro

I suggest you wait for 2-3 months as working on a big project will give you lots of knowledge~ eventually you will need experience working on a project to demand salary when you are hopping. But if you do get offer to work on other projects, that is a different case..
