1.  First thing you should understand SAP is a Career not a Job. ( This word 'Career' itself give a detailed answered).

Career Meaning :  'an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress'.

Cambridge Dictionary:

'The job or series of jobs that you do during your working life, especially if you continue to get better jobs and earn more money'

2. Your Skills both technical and functional plays a vital role in the SAP Job. Of course Communication and process knowledge also important along with domain.

3. Opportunities meet with top level management,business owner and CEO.

4. SAP is Global Career Job. If you have a skill you can work anywhere in the world. But Certification is a tag mark for additional along with domain knowledge.

5. Last but not least age is just a number. It is never too late. SAP is an Professional field. So, age is not a constraint provided one who with an hardcore

knowledge of SAP module. Even though if you have not get a job. you can work as freelancer, mentor , corporate trainer , Advisory Board member and etc.

and then Rest will follows.

All the best.

Thanks,

Vivek

Since you are very good in programming. It is very good to learn SAP S/4 HANA it is based on netweaver 7.5.

Learn SAP S/4 HANA with training partner education.

For Job opportunities you should master in excel what ever you do.

Since market is slow booming. you have to wait for new technology scope. But don't lose

patience.

Believe if you can!!

All the best!!
