QUESTION POSED ON: 14 November 2007
I recently started SAP SCM training. It's a five week course (10 hours a week). After finishing the class, the company will help me improve my resume and will try to get me my first contract as well. I will have to work through them in the first year if they get me the job.

How much should I expect as an hourly rate? Also, any other words of advice for someone brand new in SAP SCM would be appreciated.

EXPERT RESPONSE
The best way to become a good SAP SCM consultant is through a lot of hard work. There are many functionalities that would require a good understanding of the subject and looking for options to configure them. You might need to do a lot of reading of the help files of SAP in addition to look at various forums to get a better idea

I am not in a position to talk about the hourly rates. It would depend on the client and the location and how much they would perceive your experience is worth.
