Nice blog

My path is some different

Master Degree -> Quality Analyst   -> Sap ABAP/Pi consultant (+3 years exp)

Hi All,

It was nice seeing the career path of different people.

I never imagined that I will ever work on SAP. My aim was something different. I did my Engineering in Information Technology, and started my own business. After a year, I felt the need of a post graduation degree, and so, I went ahead, appeared in competitive exam and joined an institute for MBA. I completed my dual degree in Finance and Marketing and was recruited in a company and started working on SEM suite. Later, the new EPM suite was introduced and I started working on that. And now, I am working on SAP, with SAP, for SAP.

Mine starts a bit different... I still remember getting an Atari 800XL for Xmas back in the early 80's, since then I became addicted.. I remember tweeking conventional and extended memory so I could run my games when I was a child. By the time I was 16 i had build networks, servers, worked with HP-UX and NT, funny enough when I got to University I choose Accounting.. but didn't took me long to realize my mistake. To help to push my career in IT I took a bunch of certs MCSE, MCSA, MCDBA, Comptia A+, did the Cisco Networking Academy and then a few years and IT jobs later joined SAP as an IT Administrator, got transfered and moved into SAP Basis about 9 years ago, today I still enjoy my PC games!!

Hi Thomas . You know, I ended here looking for more info. about moving from technical role to functional role, my path  degree: computers engineering -> help desk analyst for 4 years (non SAP) ->  abap programmer for other 5 years  I got a certification in ABAP ( associate ) , however the technical area I think is not for me ,    my degree integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer

science however I don't have any education in business  , I´m planning study a master degree in Logistics, I had so contact with retail long time ago and I found supply chain management  fascinating. great article by the way , cheers.
