Is anyone here working in SAP MM? I’m planning to shift my career to SAP MM and would really appreciate some guidance. Could you please tell me the clear career path, what I should learn, which institute or course is best, and how difficult it is to enter the SAP MM field?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some honest career guidance from people working in SAP SuccessFactors / SAP LMS / HR Tech, especially those who have experience hiring or working as consultants.

I’m currently a certified SAP SuccessFactors Learning (LMS) consultant and have hands-on professional experience working with LMS in an enterprise environment. My experience includes application support, configuration/functional work, incident management, troubleshooting, working with integrations/connectors, data-related activities, and supporting users/business stakeholders.

I’m now trying to understand how I should position myself in the job market and what I should focus on next.

From what I can see, there are SAP SuccessFactors LMS opportunities, but many of the consultant roles seem to ask for 4–8+ years of experience and end-to-end implementation experience.

So I have a few questions:

1. How strong is the job market for SAP SuccessFactors LMS currently? Is LMS a good specialization to build a career around, or would it be better to expand into other SuccessFactors modules?
2. How should someone with hands-on LMS support experience approach the job market? Should I primarily search for: Or are there other job titles I should be searching for?
   • SAP SuccessFactors LMS Consultant
   • SAP LMS Functional Consultant
   • SuccessFactors Consultant
   • SAP HRIS Analyst
   • Application Support Consultant
   • Learning Technology / LMS Consultant
   • HR Technology Consultant
3. How much does support experience count compared with implementation experience? I have real production/support experience, but I don't want to misrepresent it as end-to-end implementation experience. How can I position my experience so recruiters see the value in it?
4. What skills should I add to become more marketable?
5. Should I specialize deeply in LMS or learn another SuccessFactors module? I've seen people recommend Employee Central because it's widely used, but I'm not sure whether adding EC to an LMS profile is actually beneficial or whether I should become a strong LMS specialist first.
6. What does the career progression look like?

Also, if anyone knows of current job openings that would be a realistic fit for someone with SAP SuccessFactors LMS certification + hands-on experience, I'd really appreciate it if you could share them.

I'm based in India, but I'm also interested in understanding the possibilities for international/remote opportunities eventually.

Would really appreciate advice from people actually working in this space. Thanks!

Can you tell me about your experience with the interview process. I applied for the CSM track in Atlanta. I could gather some details about the process from other posts, but I’d like to have a clear understanding about what to expect from beginning to the offer. How many interviews? Is the meeting with the recruiter considered as one of the formal interviews?

Failed the exam and got a 55% score which is agonizingly close to the pass mark, without feedback it's very difficult to know what to work on. Seems there is still no update on when the feedback section will be launched for these exams which just seems ridiculous.
