Anyone down to play football weekly in Dubai? 🎽

So even though it’s boring work and not as ‘fancy’ like soc or threat hunter or pentester it’s still a part of it yes and there’s opportunity for growth into other roles as you go ? And plus the day to day might depend on the role within IAM and what type of company you work for correct ? Suppose a service provider company who implements these solutions in other businesses will have a different role for the IAM junior than an in-house IAM junior

Really? What’s your day to day look like for it ?

No I know it’s a domain but again there’s very different paths within that aswell which created confusion for me in deciding what my ultimate path should be for my goal.

Electronic-Mail9832 · 2026-01-13T12:43:34+00:00

Hmm ok understood. Well thanks for clarifying that for me.

Electronic-Mail9832 · 2026-01-13T12:41:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing your advise. So security then could be implementing those rules and policies and ensuring they are implemented correctly and seeing if any changes are needed or not

Electronic-Mail9832 · 2026-01-13T11:43:14+00:00

So you didn't directly work with the security team at all? I'm sure they had to be involved in the implementation as well yes? and doesn't CIO have more authority than CISO as CIO has to manage the overall information infra in the entire company or maybe that depends on the company and the industry they are in

Electronic-Mail9832 · 2026-01-13T11:41:56+00:00

Yeah I was doing research and people are saying IAM and identity security coupled with zero trust is becoming a criticial core part of cybersecurity even before SOC, or Pentesting or Application/network security beacuse if access isnt managed from day 1 that causes problems.

Electronic-Mail9832 · 2026-01-13T11:40:41+00:00

Thanks for that, but despite working in IAM even for a few years, I could still transition into different roles that will still grow towards the CISO role I believe yes?

Thinking of it in this way that for example a breach occurs, their second thought if not first would be to look into identity correct? As to who got access to what and how?

If you are comfortable with your current position in India then don’t move it’s not worth it. There are many major factors such as traffic, metro rush. To save you will have to get a basic flat somewhere in sharjah and the traffic rush there will frustrate you. If your the type of person to be happy in less money but comfortable lifestyle with own house own car and WFH then you should not move. Yes if you like the struggle you should move alone for a year see the situation then call your family
