Holiday is over I hope you all enjoyed, now back to lock in.

Most people learn IAM and then go looking for jobs. Sometimes, this is a good approach if you are set on the job profile you want to get in to. From my experience, I'd suggest doing it the other way around. Start with the job descriptions in your area (location). Pick 5 to 10 IAM roles - analyst, engineer, administrator, whatever matches your target and read them carefully. Do not apply yet. Just read. You are looking for patterns: ➡️Which tools appear in 80% of the listings? That is your primary lab target. ➡️Which concepts come up repeatedly? JML, RBAC, SAML, OIDC, PAM, access certification - note them all. ➡️Which certifications are mentioned most? Note them but do not chase them yet. ✅Now you have a personalised plan to follow. ✅Not a generic IAM course. ✅Not someone else's roadmap. ✅Exactly what employers in your city are paying for right now. Then Build in this order: 1. Core concepts first - JML lifecycle, RBAC, authentication protocols. No tool, just the mental model. 2. Pick the tool that appears most in your job descriptions and build a lab around it. 3. Add the certification that comes up most - after you understand the concepts, not before. 4. Put the lab on your resume. Be ready to screen share it in an interview. 👉Try it now: Go to LinkedIn or most known job portal, search IAM analyst or IAM engineer in your city, open 5 job descriptions, and drop the most common requirement you see in the comments below.

One thing that separates IAM candidates who get offers from those who do not: Most people know the concepts. JML, RBAC, SAML, OIDC, they can explain all of it. The ones who get further open a screen share and show it or explain in authoritative tone if you already have few years of IAM experience or exposure to IAM processes. You have everything you need to get ahead in IAM. Right now. In the free Classrooms tab. ✅️IAM concepts help you build the foundation and fundamentals with real world analogies. ✅️The IGA lab walks you through building a full IAM end to end. ✅️The CIAM lab has you build customer IAM use cases. All free. Members in this community have done it, some with little IAM know-how. They built it. You can too.
