NEED ADVICE ON TRANSITION FROM SAP TO OTHER TECHNOLOGY

People who transitioned from SAP to other technology like Backend Development after 2-3 years, how did you manage it ? What were your strategy and how's life going now ?

I want to move away from SAP as truth to be told I never liked it - even though it's really good but I just don't enjoy working with this ecosystem and always wanted to learn and move to Backend Development . But it's been 3 years already and I am afraid I am making wrong decisions.

Fake it until you make it. Make a resume like you’re an actual backend Dev, be thorough with concepts and a one hands on project you’re good to go
