Hello SAP Fishes,

I have 11 yrs in bid/proposal management (incl. presales) & an MBA (Marketing) background. Aspiring to transition into SAP, specifically SD.

Given my non-SAP experience, is a career switch feasible? What realistic career paths are available?

Seeking advice on:

Resources, training, certifications
Career paths within SAP
Mentors/trainers within the SAP community

Any insights, advice, or personal experiences are greatly appreciated.
