Hi,
I'm a java programmer based in India with 3 yrs exp.
Of late,as I'm sure everyone knows,the market for java pros has not been looking good & there no signs yet as to when its gonna start looking up, if at all!!
But,I've been hearing that the opportunities for SAP pros especially ABAPers are currently very good & accordingly,I'm considering a switch to SAP/ABAP.
As u all are seasoned SAP pros,I'd appreciate ur views on:
1.Would it be a good decision for me to switch to SAP/ABAP?
2.If yes,how steep can I expect the learning curve to be?
3.Does mySAP (or any other erp/scm/e-business package) use java? Coz once i'm into it,I'd want to use my knowledge of java to get further & move into more related areas like e-business packages that use java & erp.
4.& How long do u reckon the market for SAP/ABAPers is gonna stay good?
5.How difficult is it to get a break in SAP/ABAP after undergoing ABAP training from ERDC Noida(or a similar training institute)?

Thanks.
Joseph
