Hello 🐟, I currently work in IAM but I've been unfulfilled mainly because I've been on the bench and my consulting muscles are not being utilized. I can't move because I'm early career and more experience is needed. So, as you can understand it's a rock and hard place to be. What is a good way to get out of this slump? I'm interested in cloud & thinking about a transition as well. But I feel like I'm losing relevancy & would appreciate advice to step up my game & land a new gig.

It's a bit tricky as very few big companies are recruiting at the moment. Look into software companies like oracle or sap, they do have IAM roles as well as part of their cloud products.

IAM like identity and access management?

When you say “interested in cloud” what does that mean to you?

Identity and access management, yes. I'm interested in cloud as in, I am interested in transitioning to cloud, cloud security. I am working getting a few certifications under my belt.

I was also in IAM so I know exactly what you feel. The thing is you think the grass is greener on the other side. I’ve moved around to more traditional cyber sec roles like compromise assessments and although the change in work is fun, IAM is really the place to be, so much demand and so much money to be made in IAM, even if it is more boring
