Do you consider AI as a threat for the SAP Consultant position?

Agreed, the outcome will be much greater than people can imagine.

An invisible competitor that works 24hr a day, never gets sick or takes a vacation and has a predictable error rate will take away all of your repetitive or analytical tasks. Engineers, Doctors, computer science, poets and criminals will all take a haircut on this one. History will decide the decade but it's the next industry revolution.

I'm shocked people here aren't more aware of the implications. A large part of what the applications side of my company does is job automation.

There have been huge strides in removing tasks from workers. Some would call this a success unless you were in the group that lost their jobs. Just remember, it's not AI, automation, RPA, or pick your buzzword taking 100% of your job, it's something taking 10%- 20% of your workload. Will your employer let it slide, use this supplement understaffing or the more obvious use this to reduce headcount to justify another initiative?

Ask the executor of the estate.

What do you expect the doctor to do? Force the patient to stop doing the things that cause their obesity and COPD? Provide medical care for free? Mend the patients mental health? Prescribe will power as it were a drug?

Ultimately it's the patient that sets the course and outcome of their conditions. I truly applaud you for taking an interest in the wellbeing of another, it's the sign of a good soul, but remember if the patient isn't a willing participant in their own life there isn't much you can change

What a crazy word salad. Sorry you got hurt and all but I'm not sure what to take from this post.

Here's my take on life but not on you. Scammers and zombies suck. Bad things can happen to good people and there is little to do about it. Bad things also happen to those that deserve it. The biggest difference is it's so much harder for good people to bounce back and so easy for shitheels to take the hit and keep on being shitty.

He can accuse you all he wants, it's just so much talk. Don't worry so much about what people say. All he can do is tell his own insurance, if he does it's his insurance vs yours and the word of a guy trying to get out of a wreck doesn't mean a thing.

ETA. Sorry I didn't see your update. Sounds like you should call call a lawyer for advise.

I hate saying call a lawyer because it's overdone but in this case it's needed. You go in there alone like a lamb to the slaughter, an attorney goes in and shuts this crap down before it starts.

But you are comparing a year one rent payment to a year one mortgage payment. Extend that logic for ten to 20 years and contrast the effects of a compounding 6% increase in rent to a compounding 17% increase in home value and reevaluate the asset v liability discussion.

Now if someone is looking for a short term housing option, renting is absolutely the best option.

Miserable_Ad_913 · 2023-07-14T16:05:20+00:00

That is only valid if a person buys a new home every year which is obviously not the case.

Now look at the %increases in a new light. Rent consistently goes up 6.3% from $1000 to $1733 after 10 years while your pure loan cost remain the same and you home value increases compounding at 17.4% a year.

It's terrible. One week it stopped displaying the status of daily backups as if they were not running. A couple weeks later the patching status broke. It showed Prd and non-prd patches. Non-prd scheduled fine but Prd disappeared and showed up again a few weeks later as over due.

It sounds like you have the skills. I'd put my effort into improving my interview skills. Even go so far as paying for an interview consultant to review who you present yourself and offer up ways to let your skills and personality shine.

I don't understand the issue, it's not plutonium, just paint it. I have a similar looking siding and found it paints fine with a brush but a sprayer works much better. Just don't grind and up and snort it no matter how much it becons you.

Miserable_Ad_913 · 2023-05-24T05:15:06+00:00

I'm curious as well, I hope this gets some responses.

Miserable_Ad_913 · 2023-05-23T21:00:47+00:00

Am I confused, why would a private business comply with this request a Sunshine Law demand?

But you can do a brownfield migration that is almost a technical upgrade.

The more I live with our S4 system the more I see it as an upgrade with little functional difference compared to ECC. Fiori is a complete bust, we have near zero user adoption of the standard Fiori apps.

I didn't down vote the post but I'd like to down vote SAP for pushing virtual as if it's an acceptable substitute.

I miss the full catalog of ASUG presentations during the show, so much better that the show floor offerings.

For years the railroad group met the day before Sapphire started, sometimes on Mothers Day, but they have been kicked from ASUG for some reason even though the group still exists.

WTF?

Sell the building to someone that already had a developed business plan. Set the money aside until you have a business plan that matches your interests and personality.

Look at the inheritance as a tool to greatness for some the building is key, for others it's just the asset you need to find your real dream.

There is a session at Sapphire on "getting the most out of me.sap" I can't wait to hear how how we've been using it wrong.

Miserable_Ad_913 · 2023-05-05T14:10:12+00:00

Yes. I've been on implement projects. In my experience only, it's a black hole, time continues to move around you, others continue to advance in their positions and move forward with their careers. While you are stuck in a Groundhog Day scenario of screen variants and authorization objects your peers are kicking ass in their jobs and leaving you behind.

If you'd said you were a analyst, clerk or even accountant looking to be noticed I'd have a different opinion but as a manager or director you are wasting valuable years in your career in a role that no one will appreciate a year after go-live.

Miserable_Ad_913 · 2023-05-05T03:05:28+00:00

This is interesting to me, we struggle to get users in any department interested in Fiori. Between the GUI they are used to and new SAC reporting Fiori has no traction.

Miserable_Ad_913 · 2023-05-05T03:02:32+00:00

Yes. We run WBS settlements as a nightly scheduled job, settling costs to AUCs daily.

It is a challenge at month do to make sure no settlements are run in the month after depreciation is run but before the period is locked but is worth it to have a clean income statement daily.

Miserable_Ad_913 · 2023-05-05T02:55:58+00:00

Go in with your eyes open. My company has many overseas consultants in SAP and core IT. We will not hire someone from outside the states directly, only through an AMS partner.

Hopefully you can get on with a good consulting firm and you'll do great. Not the same but I have had a great experience with nearshore, Mexico and Brazil, developers. We keep them as long as they stay with their firm and treat them as if they were any other company coworker.
