RE:[sap-career] SAP Trainer or SAP End User Job

It sounds like if money and relocation is not an issue, then you should go for the job that lets you start as end user so you actually do some work in the system you trained for. A lot of people do these SAP courses and cannot find anyone who has the confidence to hire them. A lot of risk involved so a lot of freshers find it difficult to get in. For you it seems you have no issue there.

Then about being a trainer, I am not sure how this is possible when you are yet to work on the SAP system. Does this involve training people on the SAP system you have not used in the real work environment? With no real work or project experience, you will be training based on solely what you learned or what is in the manual. Maybe I am off track, but it seems that's what you implied.

Finally, always try to do what gives you the most satisfaction and makes you happy.

Hi Everyone,

I have just completed my training in SAP-HR module. I have training
directly on-line from a freelance trainer based at Hyderabad. Through
regular practice and research, I have become well versed in all important
concepts in SAP-HR as far as a fresher is concerned. I am also facing severe
challenges in getting a job.

I got some calls to join as a trainer in small time institutes in Delhi
/NCR, but later found out that such small time institutes not only dupe
students with huge amounts of money by giving false promises of jobs but
also do not pay their trainers in time. Sometimes payouts to trainers gets
delayed for several months. These institutes are not the authorized training
partners of SAP and the software they use is not the original SAP software.
There are several cases pending against these institutes in the consumer
courts in India filed by those students who had been duped by these small
time institutes. Many of these small institutes, due to fear of being
legally persecuted either change their names or close down altogether,
without informing either the students or the trainers in advance.

I have also received a job offer to work as an end-user in SAP payroll for a company in Ahamedabad.

As regards to the Ahmedabad job, the company HR executive is saying that I will not be paid any salary for the initial three months. After three months, based on my performance, I will be paid 7-8K stipend from the fourth month on-wards. After I get one year old in the company, I will be paid as per the industry standards. It is not that money is an issue, neither is relocation from one city to another. The main issue is that what will be the growth opportunities if I join as an end-user in a city like Ahmedabad. I can ever get opportunities in SAP implementation or maintenance in the future if I start from a small or medium sized company in a small city.

Please advise if I should go for the job as a trainer in any of these institutes or as an end user in the Ahmedabad company.

Looking forward to valuable suggestions in this regard.

Thanks,
Debashish
