Story of a Contractor to Permie

[sasguru]

Cat got your tongue?

It's a damn sight more articulate then when he writes

[rootsnall]

oh thank you

i do that stuff and the platform it is built on and the other goodies that run on the platform

jokes aside I recommend you to get stuck into it, rates are good and will be for sometime

who cares if it doesn't work, as long as it pays and the vendor recommends it and the customers have to buy it ? infact more problematic = better for contractors anyway

and for the rest of you, stick with .Net, as Ive told you before, .Net is the future !

I bought the .Net in 30 days book a couple of years ago, thankfully I never got round to opening it after the enthisiam wore off early.

Trouble with ?? is I'll probably have to go on the road to earn big bucks whereas with good old ???? I can probably get enough work within commuting distance. I'm winding down my low key career !

fair enough, I am hoping that I will one day be a dinosaur of the new stuff :-)

and working from home

The R/3 stuff seems to be dying out but there should be a few more years into it.

The big question is whether to specialise in the BW or SCM stuff, or even APO.

with the greatest of respect if you are not already in this orbit then you have no chance

You've missed the boat with BW, its now been beaten down to ABAP levels by work permits.

SCM and APO is a bit niche unless you are happy travelling to chase the money, I would also guess its also not much use to anybody other than the consultant and contractors who implement it.

Don't worry Milan your contracts are safe, I got those acronyms off Wikipedia. Wouldn't know my ERP from my elbow.

[milanbenes]

sorry about that George, I do worry, it's nothing personal to you, times are tough and the tide is going out on all of us, if you are onto something good don't shout about it !

I'm guessing you are from Oz, its a lot easier to blag your way into new fangled skills over there than in the UK. That was where I got into SAP via a boozing mate and a five minute interview. Once you've got the skill its back to blighty to cash in.

[milanbenes]

anyway, it's all .Net these days, that's the only skill you need,
.Net and you're sorteeeeeeeed
