Hey that is an insult, ABAP can very well match their pay with any functional. With UI5, Fiori, EWM, HANA, all new tech, you need a good ABAPer.

Freelance ABAPer can earn $15k easily

CateLewitt Hi! I think if your main problem is the absence of experience you must be interested in getting an entry-level SAP job on this freelance job board. It’s an excellent chance to start your career, build a portfolio, and make some money as a freelancer (this website has higher rates than other ones and no commission fee). I strongly recommend that you register there. It won’t hurt to try to find a freelance SAP job anyway.

Singapore companies with significant ABAP customized code

Happy New Year!

Looking for companies that roll up their sleeves and customize SAP modules in a significant way - using ABAP teams of 5 or more (fulltime, consultants - doesn't matter).

Would you please share some company names that you may know of - ideally with HQ-ed in Singapore.

Thank you,
Daniel

This is so true. -.-

You cannot just study theory and buy that cert and no work exp and expect people to hire you as a "consultant"!!!
