Hi ramgopal balasubramanian ,

First of all Shifting u'r carrier to XI makes u updated with Netweaver technologies.

Good idea indeed.

Companies recruit more XI Developers rather than XI admin.

So, if u shift u'r carrier 2wards XI Development definitly u wil face good oppurtinity.

These r excellent websites on XI which gain u confidence on XI :

Ram,

It purely depends on your programming skills. XI admin will be dealing with configuration tasks, and XI developer will mostly developing the objects.
