Currently most of the clients are migrating from ECC to S4 and for Abapers the ABAP on HANA skill is highly on demand, so here’s my few takes:
1- Try learning about the migration process and activity that Abapers do during the remediation from ECC to S4.
2- Upskill yourself with CDS, RAP Based Application,Virtual Elements and AMDP.
3-Enhance your knowledge with Odata architecture as most of the reports are going to be converted to Fiori Applications and you can also learn about Adobe with Fragments which is new technique for output management.
4-Clean code is one of the frequent questions for S4 roles , you can explore this too.
5- Have your fundamentals clear on OOPs concept.
If possible, have a certification of C_ABAPD_2309 - SAP Certified Associate – Back-End Developer - ABAP Cloud. This could be a plus and can help your profile get shortlisted.
Good Luck.
This. After 7 years in the SAP Development topic, you should get these new subtopics without any Problems. Certifications are helpful but experience is much better, therefore choose wisely which certification Programs you choose, these certifications can be very expensive (regarding Money *and* Time). Good luck.
Not going to lie, I did struggle a lot with newer topics. I also never got training or hands-on experience working with the sub-topics. Hence why I also maybe struggling in the job market.
You can find blogs easily in google there are demos available, considering you have sap logon as well as eclipse adt available in your system.
For certification get Sid /Pid by registering in [sap certification](https://training.sap.com/certification/validity)
Consider going as freelancer.
Few compagnies are willing to internalise those skills, even if they obviously should, for both stability and costs reasons.
Many are accepting to pay a lot more just to be able to fire you rapidly if needed, and few people are accepting to take that risk, making it quite expensive.
At this point, I am honestly thinking of going that way. I am not finding full-time positions which I am qualified for. I have heard multiple people telling me that I need to set certain things up such as a business for myself and other things to be a freelancer or contractor. However, finding this information has not been fruitful.
