I thought I would have so much more opportunity when I got my SIE, boy was I wrong lol even with connections. It was the same traffic I had without it. But it’s better to have then not have it, just don’t expect it to open doors.

That's because the SIE is table stakes... anybody with a finance undergrad can pass it with minimal study

If you’re coming from a non financial background yes

Cfa > SIE to get into finance.

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. My first switch took me to 9LPA from 6LPA and now the second switch is being offered for 11.5LPA where I can see my fellow friends in SAP having more than 15LPA at the same experience on their second switch itself. Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.

Let me tell you, I love the flexibility at my firm, OK pay, and I do a great job, and am comfortable pushing back when I have too much work . BUT managers are terrible at planning and recently end up putting me in preventable situations where I need to work 55 hrs or have the staff work the 55 hours. I literally cannot since I have a family and my daughter is only in day care a few hours a day, I'm already doing my max work. Is it crazy that I may want to leave Bc I hate making ppl miserable?

Anyone else feel guilty for finding this so hard? I don’t have children or sick relatives and I still have a job. I know there’s LOTS to be thankful for. But I’m not ok. I feel claustrophobic.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
