This will be my 9th year. I can't tell if that sounds crazy long or crazy short to me. On the one hand, it feels like I was just starting my first student teaching job yesterday. On the other, that also somehow feels like ancient history 🤷‍♀️

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.
