On the other hand, many consulting firms are known for hiring many that they
don't intend to keep. Even the consulting firms know that you aren't really
use until you've been a consultant for at least 3 years. If they need 20
and hire 40 and 25 make it, then they'll fire the lowest 5. If they are
losing too many in the first year because they didn't train sufficiently,
then they hire more to make up the difference.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't do this. I'm saying that you should look
very deeply into their practices and try to determine what their actions
might indicate in the long run. Whatever turns out, make them put it in
writing. That way if they don't fulfill their promises, they are in breach
of contract and have no legal foot to stand on if you leave.

[code]On the other hand if I was offered a job as  (junior) SAP consultant  tomorrow, and there was no training I would turn it down  straight away (at least I think now).[/code]  Hi Kate_ I would strongly disagree with you with regards to "turning down a job offer,  if there is no training".   Please think - is getting a training (program) same as getting trained? Is your goal becoming a consultant or learning some configuration steps?   Once you get in to a consulting company, you shall learn by watching the senior  consultant, you shall have a bank of blueprints, manuals etc. and you shall be  configuring or helping in configuration, testing - REAL TIME.   If you get a chance to work with capable consultants, demanding clients; training program or NO training program; in a few years you shall come out TRAINED!   Good luck!
