Top 10 Ways to Make Millions in your SAP Career

[Pazahanick_Jarr]

I have many people reach out to me weekly asking for tips on how to break into SAP industry so I thought I would provide my top 10 tips on how to join the world of SAP and get rich while doing so:

1. Make your #1 reason for choosing SAP career be about the money
2. Focus on an SAP area that you “heard” was hot
3. Have no relevant business experience in the SAP area you want to focus on
4. Only work on projects where you can be on the implementation team as end user support will get you no where
5. Spend as much time as you can getting SAP Certifications
6. Make it know that you only work 9-5 as you have many other outside passions
7. Don’t focus on time killers like social media, conferences, or the SAP Community Network as you have money to make
8. Hoard your knowledge as last thing you want is for anyone else to get rich
9. Make it known that travel is off limits and you ideally would like to work remotely
10. Let everyone know your personal schedule up front so they can plan their SAP projects around it

As you can see you have to stay focused on a number of areas if you want a lucrative SAP career but why should it be difficult. Would be curious if each of you could provide some of your own "tips" to help spread the riches :smile:

I hope you can tell this article was in jest though unfortunately I have heard many of these at various points during my SAP career. In all seriousness if you do or expect the opposite of every one of these you will have a better chance of long-term success as it really takes a ton of hard work, dedication, sacrifice, luck and passion. On a side note I wrote Valuable Lessons to Make the Most of your SAP Career a few years ago with some real tips.
