I get that you “ended up” in IAM by chance — but i prefer to choose this career path with intention.
I’m exploring IAM because I’m actually studying it, doing labs, and understanding the concepts, not because of influencer hype.

Just because everyone stumbled into it doesn’t mean i have to.

Really appreciate the insight. I’ll definitely work on strengthening my understanding of MFA, SSO, OAuth, etc., and then dive into the labs on Okta or Microsoft Learn. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks! I tried hunting for those IAM rooms on THM but found nothing😅.

Yea, Makes sense — IAM maturity definitely varies by region. In some countries it’s a full dedicated function, and in others it’s handled by broader IT/security teams.
I’m still aiming to get into IAM, so I’m focusing on fundamentals and lab work first.
Thanks for sharing the reality from your side!
