Req suggestion to start up Career for SAP consultant

Hi all,
Can u suggest me how can I start up my career as SAP Consultant in SD or WMS, I have 7 + years of Experience in Both the modules as End user now I want to start up my career as consultant... Can u plp guide me how to Start up and what are required for the same?

Hello Surender,
It good that you have chosen a path to be an SAP Consultant.
As a end user for more than 7 years, you will be familiar with business process and with SAP technicalities too.
So, you can go ahead and give certification exam. If you feel you need a training before giving certification, You can have a formal training in SAP authorized education partner and then apply for certification.
While going through this, i wish to tell you some things which a person should keep in mind while going for certification.
Kindly do Remember, SAP Certification is not a Job Guarantee Program. Certification may add a value to it if you possess enough domain knowledge.
Companies Need Consultants who have good experience and knowledge in Business scenarios.
So, if you are good with Business process and have a valid SAP certification, then it will be easy for you to crack the interviews and get a break in your consulting career.
Regarding to your question about which module to choose SD or WMS, It is up to you to choose a module, Learn and Excel in that.There is no standard answer for choosing a module.
I would suggest you to choose a module in which you know the business process more.
All the best for your SAP Consulting career.

Starting my career in SAP

Hi everyone,
I've just started my career as SAP Business Analyst, and I'm a fresh graduate (Sales and Distribution - SD). I believe learning is a continuous process and find this forum a great place to socialize and learn from fellow SAP professionals.
I would appreciate if anyone could navigate me to a forum section that has discussion related to my area.
That's all from me, have a great day!

Welcome to SCN.
Though am not a SD consultant. Here it is

Starting a career in SAP

Hi friends
I am student from networking background with CCNA certification, but now I would like to choose my career in SAP.
I haven't got any idea where to start with and which version of SAP suits to my technical background.
Could any one of u please suggest me the best possible first step.

Hi !
Suitability-wise, the people from technical areas are generally recommended for SAP Basis, ABAP and Java based on previous background. Though there isn't anything directly suitable for you. SAP Basis (SAP System Administration) may be the right choice for you.
And about the starting point, there is no direct answer. Entering into an SAP career by choice is really difficult. There was a time in late 90s when you could expect to get 100% placement after doing a certification course. The time has changed now and the SAP market is very competitive. The demand for the SAP consultants is increasing and the industry needs good consultants but for the experienced and specialized who can help them to achieve their goals. The experts differ on how you should approach the problem of launching yourself into an SAP career. There is a lot of debate about the worthiness of SAP certification and believe me nobody can give you a straightforward answer. After weighing the pros and cons only you can make this choice. You can go through this educational resource which will shed some light on these doubts so that you can make an informed choice : http://www.best-career-guide-for-erp.com/sdn

Career for SAP HR

Hi,
I am working as an HR in a software concern.
I have 5 years of HR domain experience and also a MBA HR graduate.
I would like switch my career towards SAP.
I would like to know whether I can do SAP HR and its career oppurtunities.
Also would like to know do I need to hae any additional SAP knowledge.
Also in my initial years before becoming a HR I was working as an CRM Manager.
So kindly suggest me on what domain I can get into SAP which has a good oppurtunities.
Regards,
Indhuja

Maybe you would like to look for some videos (like on YouTube) where people show SAP HR or describe how things work withing SAP HR module or simulations (sim files) which something like videos.
This might be useful to do before you start any education. You can get feeling for the system, see some screenshots, get some concepts... You cannot have SAP trial with HR module, but you may be also interested in SAP trial to get some (quick) hands on experience with the SAP system. The installation is not difficult.

Career for SAP Basis consultant

Dear Friends,
I am into SAP Basis, most of the jobs have been outsourced in UK as such there are hardly any jobs in sap basis . Please can u kindly suggest me what is the next best option for SAP Basis for more career opportunities. Please kindly suggest me, I don't have job for last 10 months.
Thanks.

I am trying to reply all the bullets in your post one by one.
Some of the agencies (AtoS and some others) I have got in touch with to discuss this certification have suggested doing SAP SD or MM certification, keeping my experience in view. If I do it what is your guess how soon I could find a job with this certification.
for training and certification you can go to any SAP authorized institute , you can find many depends upon which country you are presently staying.
What kind of salary will I be able to attract if I do get a job. Currently I am getting good salary by auto industry standards (around $15K). As per the information I have got the starting salaries in these roles are some times less than half of what I am getting now.
if you are already at $15K (1,50,000 US Dollar if i correctly understand) then you are earning much higer then a SAP consultant having a decade experience in SAP. Better look for management job. If salary is the criteria.
Finally how fast is the growth in this industry? Let us say I do the certification spend some $500 and join a company with salary less than half of my current. After doing this, as per your experience how soon will I be able to reach or exceed the salary I would have been getting otherwise (assume I perform fairly well in my SAP role ;-).
refer the above one
So finally should I go ahead with the certification?
Certification is optional , if you just have user level experience you may not be knowing all what comes within an module, i still recommend training as it give you all back ground about SAP and you can understand most of the master data piece to create a right foundation for a module.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks

How to start a career in SAP

Hi guys,
I wanted to know the best way to look for a startup SAP job.
I have alot of experience using SAP, it runs in my family and it is something that has always interested me. However, after spending hours looking for suitable jobs nearly all listed require at least 2 years config experience and 1 full life cycle. So where do people start?
I have been looking for SAP trainee and junior jobs but there seems to be nothing available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<brainstorm>
One possible way is to find yourself a few customers who cannot show more FTE's on their payroll but still have some (ongoing) dough left on project accounts which for some reason cannot be finally signed off... and they need silent low-noise-profile high-end-experienced support for existing systems which they cannot upgrade and need to wait for an opportunity (another project budget) to consolidate them into a bigger one...
You need to stay close to your mobile phone and would need to invest in a laptop... but whether you are at home, at work in the garden, or on the beach should not matter much...
Does that sound more optimistic than a beer? I think a beer is more sustainable, because the airport barman will not let you down if you ask for a second beer...
Enjoy the weekend,

Until now what all I hear from others, not necessarily
   in this forum is one should have strong functional
   background to learn functional modules like
     (HR, FICO, and MM etc)
What you heard is absolutely correct !!!!!!!
I have seen many people jumping into SAP without the respective domain knowledge and suffered a lot in their career.
If you are very particular and interested to concentrate on any modules you listed, what I would suggest is that search a friend who have the domain experience in that field, learn from them all basic process so that you can try in SAP on your own. Straightaway, you cannot learn modules like MM, SD, FICO if you dont have any domain experience. Sorry to say this but since I have seen many friends as like what you had expressed and later suffered a lot, thought of cautioning you.
thanks

How to start a career path in Sap

Hi, i need advice in selecting Sap career path. I am a Eng.(ECE) degree holder(2005). I have 2+ years of experience in Development(Java). I am not working for the 5 Years. I want to start my career on SAP. Would anyone please advice me for selecting a SAP module and where to start?
Please advice me in this
Thank you
Dhivya

Hi Dhivya,
I saw your post and thought of responding you, it might be late but still I am replying to your query.
You should take sometime in exploring the different modules available in SAP and the modules currently high in demand. This will help you in taking a module to start learning/training.
The most important thing to keep in mind while taking a module to proceed is the job opportunity and your interest in that area.
Thank you,

Is domain knowledge required for SAP

Hi all,
I would like to start my career in SAP.My friends said that domain knowledge is important for SAP ABAP OR XI,please suggest me
1.which is the best way to start my career in SAP
2.How to learn domain knowledge
3.what are the basic things to be strong to get into the world's biggest market .....SAP and cope up with ABAP or XI
I hope SDN is the best helper for any SAP consultant.
Thanks,
Kumar.

Dear Kumar.P,
You have a good wish, But you didn't let us know what is your education back ground.
If you are a computer graduate and got good knowledge on programming languages jump in a technical consultant. You can do this by learning ABAP and Netweaver XI or Java Programming + Netweaver XI or Netweaver with Java and ABAP is good.
If you don't have computer programming knowledge and got domain knowledge about any of the modules, then learn that particular domain base SAP module.
Best of Luck for you future.

Praveen
