KPMG seems to have a bunch leaving. Looking at old scheduling reports for our office, we had about 150 seniors at this point last year, and we are just under 100 seniors rn. I started right before COVID hit, so I don’t know what “normal” turnover looks like though.

Hi everyone,

Hello all, I need one advice.
I am working as SAP consultant for 3.6 years in same company now. I am going to make my first switch in one of the big 4 in SAP only.
The thing is that I don't really enjoy working in SAP. It was handed over to me when I joined my current WITCH company. Now I have decided to switch to Salesforce tech. For which I have already finished the Admin beginner part.(while staying in NP)
Please advise me if I am on the right track.
