Hi everyone,
This is Dhivya.
I have started my career with ABAP and have 1.5 years of experience.
Can anyone suggest me what would be the best career path for me and how to choose the next. Because i am bit confused with so many things like
SAP WEB DYNPRO,
SAP UI5 ,
SAP HANA development,
SAP CRM & C4C technical
SAP BI, BO and so on.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Dhivya
I think that with only 1 and an half years of experience you still have a lot to see and learn about the ABAP wrokbench.
That being said, today with S/4 HANA is very hard to see the path to follow as an ABAP developer.
SAP Web dynpro - is a good choice but I don't see a lot of future SAP Portal and Webydnpro wasn't well received.
SAP UI5 - as 0% ABAP is mainly JavaScript because SAP Fiori doesn't have ABAP. The only part that is "ABAP" is the build of service (ODATA with SAP Gateway) wich is needed to SAP Fiori.
SAP Hana development - is more DB oriented than ABAP.
CRM, BI, BO that is another story.
I'm an ABAPer since a decade, I will learn some ODATA and Gateway to see SAP Fiori, 99% of SAP Clients has custom development so I'm intrigue in how the whole SAP Fiori will work with custom development.
Regards

With 1.5 years of experience, my suggestion is not to be too much choosy but go for the best project in any area; as long as project experience looks challenging and exhaustive. In SAP world, all areas are as good.
