So I’m interested in IAM part of cyber. So it’s no point in getting any CompTia certs. And I should just focus on a vendor cert

You will most likely need sec plus as an entry into the field

[@IAMBtom]

Great information, currently have my Sec+ and my SC-300. I'm still trying to learn and study even more about EntraID. I guess I will study up on Okta too!

What's your X handle? We need to communicate more.

[@amongink]

Very informative video, thanks. I am considering transitioning from IT Audit to IAM but worried about the work hours because right now I only work 9-6 Monday to Friday. As an IAM engineer what are the hours? Is there lots of late nights and weekend working?

[@IAMGuru1102]

Nope IAM is a day job. No nights. I work from 6am to 2pm because my company is in a different time zone and my boss is flexible. If you get a flexible boss you can work anytime.

your the goat ....how can i find your training?

[@IAMGuru1102]

I do one on one training. You will have to sign up with me and make payment. After I will send you some links to read about Okta and the exams study guide. After that I will send you a business email for the training. For most of the things we will do, you will need a business email like signing up for an application for SSO and other tools for the training. Then we will schedule time for the training. 3 weeks, twice a week. 2 hours or 1 hour 30 minutes twice a week and also help you with the practice exams before you write the exams.
