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

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.
I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.
