Re: [sap-career] Going to SAP PS from Lotus Notes

Dear Kiheem:

If you follow a number of discussion and suggestions that have happened here on this forum, you would come to the conclusion which is market confirm that it is difficult for you to get a ticket to SAP PS market segment. One to the reasons is that you are not in a position to provide a potential employer with concrete and real experience in handling the system that the position requires. With that, even in case that you get an entry, you would not get more than an entry level position which in turn does not make sense, career-wise and money-wise, to you. Why is it so? It is therefore so because you, as you state, that you are "a veteran Lotus Notes professional & working for a big IT company", you possess "some experience of project Management", and are "a certified PMP (Project Management Professional)". Trying to get into the market of SAP PS on a comparably much lower hierarchy level than where you professionally are is not recommendable if you are somewhat successfully in your current position which I assume. It will be a big dent on your resume. And in most case, such a big dent will deliver you logically and consequently an invisible, low glass ceiling in your career development.

It deems to be more conform to your career development if you continue doing your daily professional commitment and provide your current employer opportunities to recognize that besides your ability to get the daily job well done you are able to increase your professional, personal output by using your skill set from project management, SAP-related area(s) etc. The nature of this action will lead you, in a not too far future, to the point where you can improve your professional position immensely. And there is no risk and there is no low hanging glass ceiling built by your own person compared to the case that you would leave your current position and try to start (almost from scratch) in the cold and brutal world outside. There is no safety net that you can buy on the market.

Yes, Taking risk is always a requirement of moving upward or forward, but you must use your given intelligence; otherwise you are the solely person that you must blame for any damage.

Subject: Going to SAP PS from Lotus Notes

Hello everyone,

I am a veteran Lotus Notes professional & working for a big IT company. I am planning to switch to SAP PS. I do have some experience of project Management & besides I am also a certified PMP (Project Management Professional).
I have already enrolled for a SAP PS course in a training institute in Mumbai. The course is going well & would end in a fortnight or so.

My question is how do I go about finding a PS job ? As they say SAP requires domain experience which I have but in every advertisement I see they don't even mention domain experience. What chance do I stand in such a scenario?

Please comment.
