Yes, you can go for PLM, mm, pm kind of modules. Make sure to get certification under the same. And yes you will be considered as fresher but still, you will get some weightage on domain knowledge.

Hii, You might be experienced in CAD but SAP PLM mainly deals with EHS module. If you have a background of Environmental Sciences..or Induatrial safety..then you can opt for this particular module. Or getting aquainted with the domain is a challange.

The formula is straightforward. You have to enter the SAP market always as a fresher, get ready to draw a lower salary than what you may be bringing today because of your domain experience. But, the adjustment would be high-speed, and you will be able to pick up from you left to the stage when you can draw a decent salary after at least 2 years of hard work and zeal to succeed. Anyone who thinks just by doing a course in SAP he will get into the list of high salary drawing people, it's just wrong. Your current domain experience of a CAD engineer will also be of good use as you would be able to understand concepts very fast and put to use. Remember, SAP is just a tool to accomplish the work in industries that are done manually or using other uncommon tools. read less
