Being a SAP Consultant and Mentor.

Every one likes to advice and be a mentor to other, So does I. From my exp. I have found that it's not that easy to guide some one.

Since last year I am actively answering to queries from different people, I got connected to over 200 people. Every one has unique query, but the most common was: Help me to find a Job.

I have tried to help majority of them by giving guidance. (what more I can do?) many has asked me for back door entry or a short cut. I know it's difficult to answer to those query and more difficult for people to digest the answer. But the fact remains: u need to work hard to get into SAP field. Companies are paying good salary & looking for 2-3+ yrs. experienced consultant. So for those who are freshers and struggling to come on board it's hard time and it's time to put lot of efforts.

Being an SAP consultant is a challenge. You need to know technology and business both. So while a person is preparing to enter in SAP; he has to start with a HABIT of knowing Business as much as he can.

SAP TechEd is most happening event, started in 2004. Every year technical consultants working on SAP and Related ERP projects attend TechEd. It costs between 12000 to 17000 to register.

At teched you can get exposure to latest developement and industry trends. It can be a source of reach information and venue to create a worthy social network.

I have attended TechEd this year between 27th to 30th Nov at KTPO ground Bangalore. If I keep terrfic traffic experiance of Bangalore aside then remaining experiance was great.

I have choosen to focus on three areas : Upgrade, Solution Manger and SOA. I am statisfied with the knowledge I got.

Addition to this event I got chance to attend community day on 26th Nov at SAP Labs. Community Day is annual gathering of SDN and BPX members.
