Pls help me rationalize next steps. I’m a career SAP professional - I’d been with my company for 12 years and recently got let go; my most recent role was an IT Director andI’m weighing my options between looking to continue to grow up the ranks and pursue my next leadership gig vs looking to get into independent contracts/ consulting for a little while. Would love to hear your thoughts.

What type of independent contracts would you be looking for?

I know a few friends that pick up independent freelance contracts that run the duration of a few months. Most of these are helping some Fortune 500 company into S4 from an ECC instance. I have deep functional experience/ expertise primarily in the OTC, Supply Chain, and WMS spaces, and feel like I could play a range of roles from being a solution architect to running hands on with one of the functional modules. FYI - I live in the US and talking about potential roles in the US SAP market

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 ?

Hello Guys,

I have cleared the TCS Technical+ Managerial round.
Now HR is looking for salary discussion. But I don't wanna TCS now as I just have 4 YOE.
I wanna simply decline the offer discussion or reject the offer.
I wanna join TCS later in my career at a Good position when I'll have 6-7 YOE.
Rejecting offer discussion or offer letter will impact? Will TCS block me for a lifetime.
Please throw sm light here.
