No One tells you about getting into IAM
Something nobody tells you about getting into IAM.
You do not need to know every tool before you apply.
I have interviewed dozens of candidates over the years. The ones who stood out were not the ones with the longest list of platforms on their CV. They were the ones who could explain what they built, why they built it that way, and what they would do differently.
That comes from hands-on practice, not certification collecting.
A IAM lab on your laptop where you built a Joiner workflow from scratch is worth more in an interview than a vendor certification you crammed for in two weeks. Because you can talk about it. You can answer follow-up questions. You can explain the decisions you made.
Certifications matter eventually. Labs matter first.
If you are waiting until you feel ready to start building - start now. The feeling of ready comes from doing the work, not from preparing to do the work.
What is stopping you from setting up your first lab? Drop it below. We can work together. There’s no silly question.
