Hi

To get a job in the financials area of SAP I would expect that you would need a strong backsground in accounting before you add the rqeuired SAP knowledge. There is always a strong demand for FI/CO skills.

Hi,

I hope the original poster does not mind me high jacking his thread. I have a simular circumstance. I am doing my undergrad and have the option to complete TERP10 associate certification. I have 4.5 years of experience using Microsoft Navision and SAP in the Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable funcational areas.

What additional experience do I need to accumulate working as a Business Analyst in the FICO area?

Assume an entry-level position just out of university how much might I expect to earn? It would help if you can provide a earnings range.

Which pays more and which has more jobs: Business Analyst type positions or Technical Developer (ABAP) type positions?

To my knowledge, functional side gets paid more than on technical side. (15-20 % difference in general)
