I've been a supply chain consultant for over 20 years, based on Oracle and JDEdwards. I've been interested in getting exposed to SAP as well as I prefer to be focused on SCM/SCP unchained to any particular software. As usual, nobody wants to hire a consultant without years of hands-on experience with a particular platform. There are sometimes opportunities with companies that are transitioning platforms, but rare. Any other ideas on how to get exposed sufficiently enough for future projects?

Most of the large softwares (SAP IBP, o9, Kinaxis etc) you can take their training courses to become certified without ever working on the software in a project capacity. That might be enough to get your foot in the door somewhere, I’ve done the o9 certifications and have never touched the system but putting the certification on LinkedIn was enough to get constant reach outs for opportunities while still getting consistent reach out for IBP which is actually know. 🤣

Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations. Recently been through a rough job search and finally landed an offer with a mid size bank in their risk practice. People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!
