Finance transformation and analytics vs SAP analytics. Which one should I go with? SAP seems more predictable and secure, the other more interesting with better exits. Any perspective would help 🖐🏻

SAP projects = u will always have a job. Because u ll be the go to person for that area. The FT&A however should be less tech and more interesting long term. My advice is “stay away from IT” (and I spent 30 years in IT change), stay closer to the Business and manage the IT change people instead.

If u love IT, then learn all the SAP tricks and become an expert in that field. It requires keeping up to date constantly. Tiring because u never truly master anything for very long. If u are a keen learner, that could work.

I have also personally relocated 20 IT people from Asia to India and that included whole families sometimes. People did it, “for the company” but within 6 to 12 months, they were back to Asia and had found a new job elsewhere. Cost center savings makes you do things that just does not make sense for staff, especially when they are good. False economy. But again, this happens to IT people, not Business people.

Shareholders win short term.
Long term, not at all.

Hi all. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and it’s been hard to heal with the ups and downs of a very competitive sales position in the current market. Before taking FMLA for 12 weeks I was a top performer. Any advice from those that also live with bipolar disorder, or advice on a potentially a less stressful position to ease out of sales? I have 7 years healthcare sales and 1.5 years as a MLO.
