Job Market in SAP

Hi Gurus,
Can somebody tell me how is the job market in SAP right now...Has it been affected by recession or is it likely to be affected negatively by global recession like other software jobs.
Waiting for your replies eagerly.
Thank you,
Nazim.

I would tend to agree with you. I originally predicted in another thread from last year that things will start stabalizing and picking up in May 09 again. I think this happened after the statutory reports of large companies which is what I was waiting for, but don't want to put my name to it. It was just a 2 cents...
I don't doubt that SAP implementations create value if implemented properly, but the implementation process is often quite long... so there is a knock-on effect to the job market once the existing projects end.
Additionally, for existing customers, the roll-ins and consolidations over the past years are in advanced stages and central component systems is a big hit as evidence.
I am pretty sure that activating user-exits is dead... Maintaining them is probably still very alive...
Cheers,
Julius

SAP/ABAP Programming Job Market

This may be the wrong forum but I didn't see a more appropriate venue.
I took an SAP training class recently and someone asked the instructor after the class what the ABAP job market was like. His response was something like, "I hope you don't mind working for food." Not very encouraging. I don't know if the guy was just being a jerk or if he was being honest.
Any thoughts?

Steve,
To be Honest ,if you have regular ABAP Exp then billing rate will be low than as you expected .
What ever Rich said is the correct, if you have multiple experience like ABAP with BW or ABAP with some functional experience or
ABAP with CRM,then you get good billing rate.
When you look at Permanenet job then it will be difficult to get job at Client place if you have only ABAP/4 Experience.
Try to look at other modules like BW (Core Knowledge ) ,SD.. it would be better .
Good Luck
Thanks

Chances for european SAP CRM consultants in the US job market?

How would you regard chances for european SAP CRM consultants in the US job market?
I have seen many job offers on the net for applicants with a work permit only.
Thomas Wagner

As far as I know, you can only get a visa if there's no resource avaliable in the whole US, looks like too much effort for a company to justify a visa, I don't know if this has changed but 1 year ago, was almost impossible.
Cheers!

SAP UK Job Market in 2009

Hi Everyone,
Hi,
It's a generally asked question. Can anyone of you predict the SAP job market in UK 2009? If you can make out a small line of SAP FI/CO specifically in 2009 would be great. Thank you very much for your time and help.

Seems pathetic, hope for the best

SAP Job Market

I think the recession is finally over and the job market has picked up. Recruitment seems to be in full flow. How do I know?
The number of do-my-work because im-new-in-abap kind of posts is on an all-time high after a long time.
And you thought I was enquiring about the job market, when you read the title
pk
PS: Just wondering if ABAP General is begging for a blood-bath!

Woah! You had me there for a moment - looking at the subject line and the name of the OP, I thought you had finally gone bonkers
But yeah I think its true, even many of my company's customers are starting up new projects, although it will take quite a while until the market goes up to the 2007 - 2008 level.
As far as the job market goes, I'm not really sure here if its picking up. I mean companies are tentatively putting out feelers and checking if big projects are feasible, so the hiring hasnt really started up is my guess...

Deepankar

Dear expert
Here the scenerio is like this-
1] The Material will be received under job work, hence it is non-excisable, it should be return within 180 days from the date of supplier challan date.
2] In case of Breakages or scrap of Bottles, Customer/Supplier will provide us 2-3% allowance.
3] Supplier will provide the plain Bottle in Plastic Crate, same will be returned to him. No need of any packaging.
4] For Pricing, Base Price will be decided by Marketing Team. Service Tax - 10% of Base Price, Ecess - 2% on Service Tax, S/HEcess - 1% on Service Tax, Thus pricing will be done.
5] For Invoicing the procedure required in SAP with reference to Service Tax. only Heading display INVOICE instead of Tax invoice & separate series of Invoice will be required.
How to map this in SAP SD module
I am new hence need help on urgent basis
Thanks and regards

Marketing to sap bw

What would be the best answer or suggest me for some tips

Wouldn't that question be best answered with the truth? i don't think people here can tell you why you chose to switch careers.

Job potential with SAP Netweaver XI 04 Certification

Easy question. SAP Consulting XI Developer/Tech jobs. Having very little SAP XI/Netweaver experience, but getting the SAP Netweaver04 XI - Developer certification would that be enough to find good SAP Consulting jobs? I have done SAP integration in B2B and A2A for years, just not in XI. Any of those of you familiar with the SAP consulting job market aware of this or know first hand?
I just don't want to waste my time doing it, if it doesn't do any good. The company I work for refuses to go the XI route so I am stuck unless I leave and start over elsewhere. As you can tell my goal is to get a good SAP XI consulting job with the certification in mind.
Thanks for the information!
Steve

hi Steve,
>>>>I have done SAP integration in B2B and A2A for years, just not in XI. Any of those of you familiar with the SAP consulting job market aware of this or know first hand?
this is big bonus for every XI developer as you will need to use IDOC
with XI too in most cases
so XI knowledge may only benefit for you I'd say
I'd rather like to have SAP consultant with
greater knowledge of SAP and R3 interfaces
then only XI (with very little R3 interfaces knowledge)

Job market question

Hi guys,
I found that all the PORTAL jobs post at Canada are require PORTAL DEVELOPER only. Even can not find a EP job focus on EP admin or configuration.
Can any body tell me why? Now the Portal job market only require developer?
Appreciate any discuss

Hi,
SAP Basis admin can take care of EP J2EE engine administration with some technical training. EP doesn't require that much of administration once setup.
But, Developing involves the knowledge of Java , JSP and all other java applications. Every componies requirement is really complex an they are looking for a collaborative environment.
From my knowledge i would Order the languages involved in portal as,
1) Java based development
2) SAP ABAP based development
3) .NET based development
Java based developers are more preffered since it provides lot of options and to create a good user friendly layout with applets.
ASSIGN POINTS if it helps

Error log display as follows
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
keywords:
"MESSAGE_TYPE_X" " "
"SAPLMCEX" or "LMCEXU14"
"MCEX_UPDATE_11"
Actually I add ZZ fields to structure if that is the case do i need to delete the data from MCEX11 ?
I delete the data from setup tables but i did not delete the LUW entries?
When do we delete the LUW entries?
If the structure changes do I need to cancel the old job and re-schedule job?
Thanks

Off topic - job market

Hello
Sorry for the off topic, after all this is a technical forum...
I have been working with Apex for quite a while now and I find it a great tool. I enjoy working with it and I consider myself quite good at it.
However I have concerns about my employability... Its job market seems to be almost non-existent where I live (UK). Even so, Apex seems to be now a mature product, with a growing user base, the Apex forum is one of the Oracle's most popular forums and the IT job market seems to be good here at the moment. Usually all those factors mean a buoyant job market, but it does not seem to be the case with Apex.
I have other skills, and there are quite a few vacancies asking for them. I will not starve but it seems to me that if I want to change job I will have to stop working with Apex, which would be unfortunate for me (and for the community also ;-)
Why is it so? Has anyone got the same impression? Is the Apex job market better in mainland Europe? Any insights welcome...
Thanks
Edith

I think there is not a strong demand because it has replaced small development projects , these are usually in house or done by existing IT outsourcing companies
Even though more large developments are being done , it remains a product geared at Access style development , which also has very little job market

What is the current XI job market status

Xi Guys,
I am an experienced Abap developer with just rolled off my first successful XI project.
For my next project I am really want to stay in XI arena and would not like to go back to Abap .
I wish to ask you your opinion on - what is the XI current job market status in the US?
I am hearing different things u2013 some are saying XI is not a good place to be, because there are not that many xi projects and there are too many xi consultants u2013 therefore if job is difficult to find, rate is low, slowdown etc.
Others are saying exactly the opposite -xi market is very good and it is growing , so there are jobs...
If first is true I would not like to waste time and effort. So your inputs as xi gurus will be interesting for me, before jumping to any conclusions.
Of course more info like which exactly XI skills are in better demand and what are the trends now will be also interesting to hear.
Let me know what you think and what is your experience.
Appreciate your replies!
Jon

HI Jon,
Your question is pretty interesting... Well WHO can tell the future...Only GOD...:-))
Todays market is volatile. AS per current market situations we can just forecast about XI requirments, it may be right or may go wrong after few years.
But one think I could assure you is if you have good knowledge then you can servive in any Market situations.
Curently there are many XI consultants available but can you guess how many are of them XI experts...just few of them.
If you see the previous developments in XI arena, then it will ndicate you that you should be updated with latest version of knowledge else you will stay out of the race.
So before getting involve in XI, be sure that you are ready to survive in slag time of Market as well as enjoy it on on peak time.
Tomorrow Market may get down or may be at boom for XI, but there will always be requirment for good XI knowledge
Thanks

Sounds like temp agency trying to test the ability of people.
yeah, well most people take care of that for them. I may not see a lot of value for my own career in CompTIA testing, but this is exactly why is exist in the first place.

I'm looking for software or an organization that would help me assess the skills of IT professionals in job market. It should offer IT simulation tests that would assess the skills of IT professionals in networking, desktop support, helpdesk and security. I work at a career management firm and this software would give us an idea where our IT candidates are skill-wise regardless of their current certifications.
