Super curious what everybody thinks about Gartner? Thoughts on the firm, etc? Prestige, product, people, culture, exit opps? I’m on my way out. Trying to lateral to big 4/elite boutique (ATK/LEK/OW)

Gartner & Forrester are the barometer of our boardrooms. Any decent C level will at least look at the trends are going and make strategic decisions based on where those ISVs (independent software providers) are heading.

I remember pitching Coupa (Procure to Pay) 3 years before their IPO and nobody would listen. Now they are everywhere.

Gartner comes across an analytic driven firm which sells surveys and intel but u guys are not consultants and therefore not sales people either (unless u were selling Gartner licensing packages).

Moving towards Big4 will be a big change for sure. Not sure if they are looking for profiles like yours. Have u researched ?

U may be an invaluable asset if you were exposed to many productions of Gartner Magic Quadrants ans therefore know how to navigate tech transitions for clients and explain why, how and how much ...

U have the data! At least in your head.

Good luck

I work with a bunch of ex Gartner people, and think quite highly of them. However, they are all business development folks, as opposed to being focused on consulting.

My true answer depends on what you are looking to do. If you are focused on obtaining a BD role, I would say Gartner will have prepared you well assuming that you came from a sales role at Gartner.

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience

I am coming from a place of ignorance - not sure what would suit my background.
