I am a recent graduate from a college that's in the SAP University Alliance. The professor who taught all of the SAP and BIT Software classes had actually asked me many times to be part of the SAP team (accepted), and to be a TA in the SAP Configuration class (declined) . I figured that I had a promising career ahead of me, and now I can't find anyone that will hire for entry level work. I have passed practice tests for the TS-410, but I haven't taken the actual test. How can I get ahead?

I wish I could offer advice to actually get you into a position, but the best I can say is that the job market in IT is brutal right now. So many organizations have laid off IT employees that it's almost flooded the market.

It's discouraging, but the only thing you can youis keep putting out applications.

No one is hiring entry level for platforms anymore. If you aren’t a generalist data scientist you won’t find any software-based role. Platform experience means very little in most roles unless it’s direct experience in the system being currently used. Just ask all the Salesforce experts why it’s so difficult finding work when you’re “a certified Saleforce solution strategy demigod” and you realize that means nothing outside of Salesforce billing rates for client corporations. Or SAP or ServiceNOW etc. If you have a career option in education, it will be stable and low pay. If you’re trying to get an independent role, find a consulting company that needs specific role replacements for SAP platform work and plan on being laid off in a year as all these companies fail because they’ve been throwing money at ai and don’t understand what it is other than another thing to sell.

Are traditional consultants generalists like at MBB?

Many people are saying that companies are holding off of hiring until after the election. I’d like to encourage you however to keep trying. Hold your head up and stick your chess out. You done all the homework and prepared as you should have. Best of luck.
