With all the SAP layoffs last month, how does it affect our future and the future of our roles? Seriously wondering if I should be considering a pivot.

You’re overthinking layoffs, every growing company has them from restructuring at one point or another. Just make sure you’re in a value add position in the company in a LoB that’s worth it.

CX was never SAP’s core. Anything around ERP directly and you’re safe.

Which businesses at sap had layoff. I missed the news i guess

Seems SAP is restructuring their business in order to position better (only?) on Cloud technology. This could explain the layoffs. But as mentioned, everything ERP related, is definitely safe.
Then, I believe that, layoff or not, if you want to last in the sap echo system, you have to keep yourself up to date to the latest solutions / tech in your area.

Hottest SAP job market in 20+ years. But as others have pointed out you need to stay current or you become irrelevant.
They laid off 3k of 112k and primarily as others have stated it is restructuring driven. SAP is changing their operating model to be more cloud focused (Public Cloud and RISE). This change requires focus in specific products, business units, industry focus, support and even services.

I think the future of SAP consultants are in danger because of tech like ai specially when they start to do designing, then no need for us, maybe 1 person to cross check, and it might come sooner than we think, specially with all the research that is going on in ai amd how it can be used with any other tool including sap.

No we are a long way away from any AI replacing the works consultants do in tech/functional consulting.

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

Looking for recommendations on financial modeling courses (paid) that I can take for 3 statements/operating model, valuations, M&A, & LBO. Have been getting interviews with banks (3 in 2 months) but I come up short with the modeling experience (and weak on the technicals too). I’m thinking doing a modeling course will help with the no modeling experience + update my technicals? Thanks.
