RE:[sap-career] In-house training for newly recruited FICO consultants

Consultants make recommendations in the best interest of the client.

By this definition, most of the people referred to as a "consultant" are actually doing employee work under contract.

There are many reasons there are so many "consultants." A primary reason is that paying a consulting company goes on a different budget line and a different tax reporting line than does an employee.

Hi All,

Type have asked back on an another thread, and I have found it interesting enough to open a new one.

So here it goes: Do consulting companies usually give training to new hires before letting them work face-to-face with customers?

If I was a client I would expect a consultancy firm to give some training to their freshers before billing me for hundreds of euros/day for them, would I not?

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).

Hm? What do you think?
