As I read this, I see more of the admin/development IT jobs discussed but not the other side of the coin.

Why not get into a tried and tested ERP platform, be it as a developer, tester, or even implementation consultant (ie Functional/ Technical Resource)? This would require you to work for a company that can win the business but Oracle, SAP, Salesforce are in demand, as well as APO from a supply chain perspective.

I have been doing SAP functional/technical work for 4 years and have learned CRM, MM, CM, CD, FI so that Im not silo’d into one skillset. This plan has helped me strategically keep my options open with my current employer. Offshoring isnt really possible with this line of work, bc of the constant interaction with the business sponsors.
