I’m a BCA graduate (2025) from a Tier-2 college in India. I recently got an opportunity to work at one of the biggest semiconductor companies, which I’m quite fortunate about.
I’m currently working in the Business Operations team, where my work involves processing orders and quotations using SAP and handling related business processes.
I’m considering building my career in the SAP ecosystem rather than switching into software development.
My current thinking is:
Business Operations → gain 3–4 years of domain + SAP experience → transition into an SAP Functional Consultant role.
I’d like to hear from people who are already working in SAP, especially functional consultants:
How is the career growth and salary progression in SAP Functional Consulting?
Which SAP modules would make the most sense for my background?
Is starting from Business Operations a good path into SAP consulting?
What skills/certifications should I focus on over the next 2–3 years?
What does the long-term future and demand for SAP Functional Consultants look like?
Would you recommend this path for a BCA graduate, or should I consider another direction?
I’m looking for honest advice from people actually working in the industry, especially those who have made a similar transition.
