I am currently an associate in FDD. My firm is offering a decent bonus to do certification trainings. I’ve always been very interested in SAP and would love to do the certification (and get $$). My question is — how can I pitch this to leadership that this would help me in FDD (approval required to begin the certification)? In other words, I’m struggling to come up with the ‘why’ I want to do this other than my interests. I’m specifically looking at the SAP Financial Accounting Associate module

So I moved from SAP consulting to FDD and I was asked in an interview how my old role will help me in my new one. I honestly had no idea because they are so unrelated. And the interviewer actually answered it for me by saying that I can help clients pull data, and customize the data that needs to be pulled out of the system because a lot of times the people you’re working with at the client aren’t that tech savvy. So if they (the client) use SAP as their main system, you can sort of guide them in getting the right data you need. Feel free to dm me for more info

Hello fellow Protiviti members.

I was once at a dinner with a second year analyst, consultant, and partner, and the analyst said he planned on retiring by 30 and the partner and consultant laughed. Little did they know, the analyst owned his own home and rented all the rooms out so he payed no rent, never ate out, only grocery shopped, and very very rarely bought anything new. He saved most of his income, and was perfectly content with just his video games. That man was serious about not being stuck working forever.
