What are some steps you take to stay ahead of developments in marketing? I enjoy professional development opportunities but I’m struggling to find any of value right now. Are there any platforms you’d recommend, both free and paid? How much time do you dedicate toward your PD as well?

Time is something I don’t have a ton of lately, so it has been a struggle finding something that is a good value for the time or money I’ll put into it. I used to like going on Coursera or Udemy to learn something. The fee isn’t too bad, and I really appreciate that you can go at your own pace.

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth.

Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.
