In hand salary. Variable is less. Insane learning opportunities. Onsite opportunities although less still one would get depending on accounts

I enjoy working on SAP for long hours and get appreciated by all my managers and Customers, all the time. I have flexibility of working from home till now. I go 1 or 2 days max in a week. The SAP projects are mostly in support .

Dislikes

Very Low Salary is the only reason in my case . WIth SAP certification at expert level and 5 yrs of exp no immediate hope of salary increment and promotion so put down papaer and now serving notice period. HR policy is not aligned to match with market and letting go a critical and solid resource like me.
