I’m not happy at my current firm. I have a few interviews lined up in the next week or two. I’m not worried about landing a position. I have good work experience and am a solid interviewer. I’m just afraid of the devil I don’t know versus the devil I know. I’m not applying to any Big Law positions, these are just mid-size firms. Any advice or feedback to make me feel better about making the switch. L&E in California.

My two cents having had to make the same choice is that the devil you know probably isn't going to get better; if you've been there at least 4 years, you know roughly what that devil will/won't provide you for the rest of your career. The devil you don't could be worse, sure, but it could also be better.

If you already know that your current firm isn't going to get you where you want to go, you may as well move on and try to find a firm that will. If the next firm doesn't get you there either, you can always try again

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for
1. Number of implementation projects done.
2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?
