It is difficult to specify a general salary range for an experienced consultant as there are many dimensions that would significantly affect the pay scale. These include:
- The specific modules that one specializes in. For example, a SAP HR consultant in Singapore might be in the lower payscale compared to SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) where the general demand for SAP SD is higher. This is pretty much driven by the demand and supply.
- Whether one is from a consulting or end-user environment
- Amount (frequency and duration) of travel that one is required to do
- Which countries is one working from
Based on the above information, you might be looking at an annual package of between HK$600,000 (US$76,712) and HK$800,000 (US$102,283). This is just a generic guideline. As mentioned earlier, this can change significantly according to the supply and demand at different points in time of the job market.
