I think definitely Salesforce if you want to work remotely. It's easy to get into, much smaller system in both scope and complexity, and tons of free documentation. Get a couple of certifications, do the trailhead stuff, contact some consulting firms to tell them you're available for work and it should be easy to find work. Getting into SAP and finding work can be challenging. They have a lot of new things from what I see but the majority of the SAP work you'll find is old non-cloud stuff that you'll basically need to have worked with at a company before to learn. I went from SAP dev inhouse -> SAP dev consulting then jumped on the Salesforce wagon around 2011. SAP work was enjoyable to me, partly because I was working in the manufacturing space, which I found interesting. Software-wise, it felt like I was 20 years behind everything, working on a mainframe. Salesforce, I just immediately hated. It was just limits after limits and some crappy java-like language and html templating that took forever to deploy. It's gotten a bit better with lightning but you'll see the shit underneath pretty quickly. I also found the projects also extremely boring. Going from controlling machines and automated warehouses with SAP to projects about collecting email addresses and creating contacts felt like I made the wrong move. tldr -- avoid getting locked into proprietary-land if you can help it
