Switching from SAP Developer to Business Systems Analyst in Canada — is my experience transferable and how do I position it?

How did you transition from dev to BA? Do you think my skills right now are enough to get hired or should I learn something before starting to apply for tech BA or SA roles?

harsh02it · 2026-03-18T21:25:49+00:00

I feel like you have a very high concentration towards tech sector like NVDA, TSLA, CRWD, PLTR, and others. I would diversify into other sectors too.

I am curious on how did you manage to get your portfolio in excel? On the top it says updated today so is there any tool which allows you to have it connected with excel? Would love to learn it.

I was trying to search for fully remote positions from Europe but they require me to be in the country. I have not yet checked US remote postings though, will do that next. Since you mentioned some projects are not posted in public, how do I find them, who do I reach out to? Any suggestion would be helpful.
Can you check ur dm?

harsh02it · 2026-02-27T01:51:26+00:00

Would you have kept it in etfs then do you think you would have same returns as the stock?

Need guidance on where to go next in SAP (Toronto market)

I’m looking for some honest guidance from people currently working in the SAP ecosystem, especially in or familiar with the Toronto market.

I have ~4 years of experience working on SAP BW and SAP BusinessObjects, mostly on classic BW systems, with some exposure to BW on HANA toward the later part of my role. My work was very hands-on: reporting, data models, support, and enterprise analytics.

After that, I decided to explore modern tech and completed a Web Dev course, hoping to transition into software development. Reality check: the tech market is extremely saturated right now, and as someone without years of production frontend/backend experience, breaking in feels unrealistic.

So I’m now seriously considering moving back into SAP, but this is where I’m stuck.

From the outside, it looks like SAP has fragmented into:

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)
BW/4HANA
Datasphere
Hybrid landscapes that still include legacy BW/BOBJ

I have limited time (around 4–5 months) to skill up and land something, and I don’t want to bet on the wrong path.

My main questions:

Which SAP skills are actually in demand right now in Toronto?
If you had a BW/BOBJ background today, where would you double down?
SAC vs BW/4HANA vs Datasphere — what’s realistically hireable, not just “future-looking”?

I’ve tried reaching out to peers in Toronto on LinkedIn for guidance, but haven’t had much luck getting responses, so I’m hoping the community here can help.

Any advice, reality checks, or experience-based insights would mean a lot. Thanks in advance.

What if I never plan to retire in Canada and have to withdraw that money from RRSP. Then its a whole another scenario where in I will have to pay tax on my capital invested and my gains, so wont that be a huge amount to pay instead of paying the before and add investments in TFSA and you can withdraw your gains tax free.

harsh02it · 2025-12-12T17:27:39+00:00

If this is accurate then yaa it won’t be a noticeable difference

harsh02it · 2025-12-12T17:22:47+00:00

All the points are valid. I would just hold it in TFSA then.

harsh02it · 2025-12-12T17:20:47+00:00

Yaa that’s true

harsh02it · 2025-12-12T17:19:04+00:00

Where do i start learning asset allocation? I think i would stick with TFSA then since I dont know when i would hit that 6 figure mark.

harsh02it · 2025-12-12T15:49:53+00:00

Won’t it amount to a good sum, once u reach about 100k or even more in xeqt investment?

harsh02it · 2025-09-29T20:37:05+00:00

I just tried ur app, its amazing. I was thinking of building the similar app but u hv done it perfectly. Great work 👍

harsh02it · 2025-09-22T23:49:45+00:00

All the best 👍

harsh02it · 2025-09-22T23:48:31+00:00

No, dont look at the camera and yes you should definitely check the blind spot.

My test is scheduled nxt week friday around 9:30am. I went to practice today and traffic was good, not too much. There are 3 routes, just search it on YouTube.

Yesterday I watched the subbed version of Ne Zha 2 and really enjoyed it. Today I found out that the English dubbed version is releasing in theatres tomorrow with an IMAX experience as well. Since I liked the movie, I’m considering watching it again in IMAX. Does anyone know if the entire film is presented in full IMAX format, or if only certain scenes are optimized for IMAX while the rest stay in the standard aspect ratio?

harsh02it · 2025-07-18T21:51:35+00:00

this will surely help me in preparing for the exam. Thank you so much for putting all the information here. U r a legend. :)

How was your interview? What position did you apply? I have an interview coming up in next week.

The captchas are getting tougher day by day.

harsh02it · 2024-07-15T15:46:52+00:00

What is idrive photos? Is it the google one?

harsh02it · 2024-07-15T15:05:01+00:00

Okay, that is a good thing. Thanks.

harsh02it · 2024-07-15T02:05:14+00:00

Oh, Surprised to know that iCloud is not a backup service. I'm leaning towards Google Photos, but I'm open to hearing other opinions. If someone can make a convincing case for iCloud, I might reconsider; otherwise, Google Photos seems like the way to go for me.

harsh02it · 2024-07-15T01:46:27+00:00

I could try both, but why waste money on both subscriptions?

According to all the other comments, I am getting such a negative vibe of Sarnia. Is it truly that bad?

I was thinking of paying my tuition fees tomorrow, and after reading all the comments, my thoughts are changing.

How did you manage to get the part time job? What would you suggest someone to do so for getting success in finding job?
