SAP FICO career and certification

[Former Member]

HI,

Need assistance please

I am currently pursuing my career in Front Office, Commercial Banking in financial industry (8 years in London) and would like to add SAP FICO to my knowledge bank.

I do not have any prior experience in IT - no certification, experience etc.

I wanted to know from the experts, if is it worth doing SAP FICO? Would the firms consider me for SAP roles having no prior experience in IT and only having SAP FICO certification?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Hi Ekta,

If you are in the finance domain & want to switch into FICO as your core domain, you can very well do that. You need to get your finance business process strong. For every module in SAP, it is required to gain the business knowledge of the corresponding module rather than jumping into a configuration or IT which you can eventually grip over the course of time.

As far as SAP certification is concerned, it is not mandatory (although some organisation specifically ask for it). It is up to the candidate how he/she could manage the profile/role in the current situation.

Hope it would be helpful for you.
