Which would be more useful/valuable to learn from a functional implementation consultant perspective: Salesforce CPQ or Apttus CPQ? Or something non-SFDC like Oracle CPQ Cloud?

OP, there's a huge demand for both, but there are less salesforce cpq consultants out there since it's a newer product. Either way you go you'll be fine.

If you are the kind of person who prefers 2-3 month long projects and learning about a variety of businesses, I'd suggest Salesforce CPQ. If you prefer 10-12 month long projects and prefer learning about complex use cases, I'd suggest Oracle CPQ. I would not particularly recommend going down the Apttus route.

D1 are all cpq projects usually that short? Even the enterprises cpq implementations? If so maybe I need to get into cpq cuz I’ve been doing sales and service and it seems like more and more salesforce implementations have been 6-12 months in the past 2-3 yrs

Thanks for the feedback! From a functional perspective, are a lot of the skills transferable between Salesforce CPQ and Oracle CPQ? Is there a disparity between market demand for one vs the other?

Functional is highly transferable. Demand is dependent on industry. See lots of Salesforce CPQ demand for software and service focused while Oracle is more relevant for hardware and manufacturing.
