— good question. As and pointed out, the two tracks are different, but there is no single correct answer about "higher demand." Which one is easier to find work in depends on three things: the ERP product you target (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, NetSuite, Odoo, etc.), the market in your city/country, and whether companies are doing greenfield implementations or supporting long‑running custom landscapes.

Functional consultants focus on business processes: requirements gathering, translating needs into system configuration, testing and training, and driving adoption. Technical consultants design and build custom code, integrations, data migrations, and performance or deployment tasks. Larger integrators and big ERP vendors often hire specialists; smaller customers prefer hybrid people who can bridge business and code.

Practical steps to decide: try a few job searches in your region for the ERP you like to see which titles and salaries show up; take a short hands‑on course or lab (configure a simple module or write a small integration); talk to recruiters or implementation partners; and pick one path to start, while learning basics of the other. If you enjoy business, go functional. If you enjoy coding and systems, go technical. Either path is viable — cross‑training makes you more hireable.
