Wondering before I dig down the rabbit hole that is SAP, what are some typical exit opportunities for a senior or manager for SAP MM? Concerned about pigeon holing into SAP implementation forever.

The pigeonhole is real. You can exit to managing an it department but more than likely will be in sap forever if you go down that path.

There is nothing wrong in doing sap work. As long as you have tech skills, you will always have a job . I agree it is not as sexy as strategy but it pays the bills .

Not much at those levels. But if you stay to get to a SM level and with some experience managing non-typical implementations projects, you could exit to M&A post transaction integration roles.

Welcome to the Mainframe

SAP career will entail exit barriers. You will keep getting SAP opportunities. You may need to do some upskilling to boost employment opportunities. Consider data and analytics as a career option. This can open up additional opportunities. SAP is not that bad after all. This is your insurance to staying employed for the next 5-7 years at a minimum.

It is indeed a pigeonhole, I agree with others

Completely agree. It’s a one way street. Difficult exit. The possibility of exiting diminishes the more you work on SAP. Honestly, S4 is a big let down. There’s limited value and SAP has thrust this down clients for increased revenue. You can consider a career in AI/ML or RPA. That’s very much I’m demand these days

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?

I’ve received several take home assignments that clearly use real company data or give a good indication to a company’s future strategy. If I wanted to be petty, assuming I haven’t signed any NDA or fine print promising secrecy, could I share this information publicly without facing legal repercussions?
