10 years of ... what type of work exactly? Not being flippant, it matters hugely!

To give a frame of reference (not specifically SAP but comparable), people I currently work with include ...

1. Senior Manager, a little under 10 years on the job. Day job: runs a 18m pa portfolio of client contracts. Good at: getting stuff done, problem solving. Bad at: hard tech

2. Consultant. 20+ years on the job. Deep expertise on X topic. Day job: technical lead for a small team of 5. Good at: anything X topic tech. Bad at: anything involving commercials

3. Manager, ~15 years on the job. Day job: mixture of "technical at client, generally useful for internal boss". Good at: prioritising. Bad at: specialising

... all three are in the same practice and, in theory, were originally hired for similar things. All graduate hires. Took very different trajectories.

Personal take: SM "won" the race so far via a relentless can do attitude and utter refusal to admit defeat. M has found a sweet spot of "balancing". C is content with what C does and doesn't aspire to being M or SM.

OP, again, what experience precisely?

Pure implementation / "doing"? Conceptual work? Strategy development / advisory in the SAP space? Project management? Client Account / portfolio / other "overall" type level of responsibility?

It matters hugely? See examples in my previous post: 10 years could be anything from "Consultant" to "Senior Manager".

For Germany, specifically (having worked with that location before): they seem to have an above average preference for people speaking the local language (source: I don't actually speak German; was literally billed for less because of it).

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
