There is a good old Soviet movie where one of the main female characters was wondering how could she become a general's wife. Her friend answered: "Huh, to become a general's wife you need to marry a lieutenant and spend years moving from one military base to another". 🙂

With 1.5 years of experience I suspect you have quite a bit of road ahead to get to the Solution Architect level. If we're talking true Architect and not just a title then it takes a lot of hands-on experience, trying very many different things and not necessarily succeeding with them. Pretty much doing anything opposite to just sitting on your bum doing the same things daily can get you there, in time.

And marry the right lieutenant! 🙂

After a long day of stepping my jackbooted heel on the necks of hapless community members, crushing hopes and shattering dreams, it's good to wind down with a laugh. Ruthless authoritarianism is hard work!

Hi,

iam not sure if you still got the answer to your question.

to get solution architect position you need to understand the various functional modules both in SAP and domain perspective,mainly integration aspects.once you have hands on multiple functional modules along with technical you can be a solution architech,so you need to work like abap-sd, abap-mm, abap-pp etc.

A famous proverb is there which says - Aim for the moon, if you miss, you may hit a star.

Having said that, since you have hardly 1.5 years, first aim for a Lead now, so that you might at some point of time, will become a senior consultant. From there, step by step, set realistic target to yourself and achieve. Of course, hard work never fails and whatever sincere hard work you put, one day, it will take you to top of the ladder

SAP Solution Architect is a fancy way of saying that you are very proficient in a module.

Be very good and experienced in SAP SD and you are a SD solution architect.
