Haa.. haa.. there you go Anyway, is your company willing to take someone with 15 yrs of experience?

cywings, were you the one that brought back my antenna analyzer from US last year? or was it someone else .. hee..hee.. I've lost contact with my friend Nik .. have no idea if he is in the US or came back to Malaysia already.

Yah.. and I'm having a bad headache trying to cleaning up the mess the left on our crm project .. argh!!!

Kalau touch itu extractor .. can consider boleh buat BW ka? Thee..hee..

My suggestion is, to go for end user environment first .. and then build up your experience in SAP .. and off you go.. Many 'consulting' companies want someone who can start working from day one.. they'll value people with configuration knowledge rather than process knowledge..

Go for functional if you can .. otherwise, start with may be with ABAP and after at most two years, switch to functional .. the demand for a good functional is surely very high .. ABAPers usually will be the last to be called in any new project, most of the time..the last quarter of most project.. whereas functional consultants are needed from day one .. proposal till .. final handover..

And surely functional consultant gets better pay ..

If you're currently working as ABAPer, stay where you are .. and be patient for the next 2 years .. learn as much SAP from technical side .. you'll be grateful with the experience you gain while being an ABAPer after you've make a switch .. I've quite a number of friends who're doing functional right now and asking me if they could learn ABAP ..

Err.. you mean the former??? I've few funkies who're looking for an ABAP training .. so, I guess the latter is at disadvantage w/o technical/ABAP background..

Added on July 25, 2009, 5:03 pmABAP is boring if you're doing the same thing over and over again .. I do sometime get bored when what I need to do is debugging stuff .. for the whole week. But being in support, that what expected .. the good thing, there'll be something coming in between .. so I could leave the debugging for a day .. do the easy stuff with reporting etc.. and continue debugging the next day.

Can you not get into support role in your current position? Supporting your department first .. and if possible, ask if your IT department needs extra support.. I've a colleague who came from end user environment, became the super user in his previous role in a subsidiary and now a full time consultant in a project.... and I've seen many that are going through this route too.

Hi there Hafiz, probably the company that you're going for an interview is the end user of SAP and not the company that provides SAP services or consultancy. I was an engineering graduate too but I'm stuck with programming I guess for my whole life .. it is just a piece of paper .. do whatever you think you're capable/love with after you've got the paper.

Hi there again, yes.. it seems that the company uses SAP as a tool. They might have in-house expertise which maintained the SAP system but you may not be directly involve in supporting the system .. just the end user dealing with normal logistics stuff .. you don't need to worry about SAP, you'll probably need to do some data entry, do some asset related processing in the system and churn a report out.

Cheezy .. you were talking more about manufacturing/production/sales .. while in O&G, most of them don't have these ... they're more on Plant Maintenance and stuff for the upstream.. no Kanban, no IM .. on downstream, they're more on IS-Oil/SD .. BUT... my O&G experience all rusted already .. so .. don't depend on what I said
