Hi,

I was once in the same situation as you! Qualified, but a bit dissatisfied with the IT industry until I found SAP. It's a hard area to break into, but well worth the effort. It's interesting, challenging and rewarding.

I recommend that you get yourself some real SAP training. It's expensive but well worth it when you score that first position. Then try to get a job - any job - with a large company that uses SAP. Then work your way into the SAP department.

Knowing a functional module is useful but not required. As a SAP technical person you are expected to handle any module they may throw at you.

Forget about certification for now, that won't help. Experience is the golden prize.

good luck

..What an Explanation ! Awesome!

As suggested by Paul, Please join any SAP authorized training institute and grab  ABAP training And getting Certification may help you to get a Job it adds value in your profile but its NOT AT ALL Mandatory. so after training try to join any Company and get some real time experience.

Hi Misra,

Yes ABAP is the best module to select if you are more interested in Coding. Try to work on the module for 2-3 yrs, try understanding the full end to end cycle functionality of the objects you deal with. ABAP is common for all functional Module. If you code objects with functional knowledge of that module then you need not spend time separately for understanding the Functional part of that module. Experience is more worthier than the Certification. The More time you spend the more you can gain.

All the best,
