My first degree was in physics as well, and I also ended up in IT. At SAP, to be exact. Urban legend among German SAP employees has it that SAP expands to "Sammelplatz arbeitsloser Physiker" (gathering place for unemployed physicists).
- shifto 8y agoI know a few people at SAP (NL/DE) who are overqualified for the job they are doing and seem bored/uninterested. What's an insiders perspective of this?
- majewsky 8y agoI guess it depends on where you are in the company. I have been under two different managers since I joined 7 years ago, and they both keep their employees on a relatively loose leash. As long as the required work gets done in an orderly fashion, we get to choose our own pacing and attack angles. Makes for a pleasant work experience most of the time. Then again, I guess I value stability and predictability in my day job a bit more than most Silicon Valley startup employees.
