Anyone else getting stuck in generalist work as an ERP consultant?

I was hired for my Workday expertise, but now we’ve got too many Workday folks on the bench, so I’m being pushed into generic strategy roles instead for utilization. It’s been years of being promised “hot” domains that immediately cool off and bounced across management consulting and strategy/ops work.

With AI eating into ERP delivery, is anyone actually hiring certified ERP talent anymore, or is this happening across firms?

AI isn’t eating into ERP work at least in the SAP space. ERP implementations are all about people management which AI can’t do

Grass is always greener for us haha. I feel like Strategy work is dying even more since AI is now doing this. I love the implementation part and where strategy meets strong execution / implementation. The current group of people I’m working with just talks in buzzwords and oversells reality.

Where are you that you’re Workday bench is big? And what area? We’ve got a ton of work

Wow, I’m in this exact same situation. Although I wouldn’t say the ERP market is bad in general, in some ways it’s more protected than generalist mgt consulting. There’s just absolutely no need for junior talent from what I’ve seen.

This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
