Shortages
So I had lunch with the CIO of a medium sized consulting company (6k+ employees). He told me "you can't hire an SAP developer in India right now and next year, you won't be able to hire one in the US".
Companies are thawing out after COVID and HAVE to migrate to S/4 before ECC support ends. Those companies are hiring like mad.
I've implemented S/4 twice in the past 4 years.. No resource issues on the first project at all, but had about a 30% turnover rate on the 2nd one because the market in for SAP devs is getting hotter and hotter.
If companies want top talent, they're just going to have to pay for it.
You cannot drop in a front end developer into SAP - they will hate it. I've seen it time and time again where a dev thinks they want to make the jump only to return back to .net or java because the development is just so different.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
