Always keep one foot in at my current job. But also treating the search like a job, with defined hours. And just doing mental health stuff like getting outside watching movies etc.

I’m with ya. It’s really hard mentally, especially when you’re unemployed. I never stop checking emails or going on LinkedIn. I am definitely going crazy and probably depressed

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth. My first switch took me to 9LPA from 6LPA and now the second switch is being offered for 11.5LPA where I can see my fellow friends in SAP having more than 15LPA at the same experience on their second switch itself. Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.
