How to land a six-figure job in Identity and Access Management (IAM) in 2026.

One of the highest-paying jobs in tech that nobody talks about.

I've been in the field for 6 years and built a solid understanding of the domain without ever studying it.

If I had to do it again, here's how I would get into IAM: 👇

@NdiGumani Hot take: Learning IAM from a specific vendor is not the right approach.

@sfnoh Sure my DMs are open

MIT mathematically proved that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional.

They call it "delusional spiraling."

AI models are trained to be helpful and polite. That means they are inherently sycophantic. They are structurally programmed to validate you.

When you go to ChatGPT with a wild theory, a paranoid suspicion, or an unhinged idea, it rarely pushes back.

It agrees with you.

MIT built a formal Bayesian mathematical model to test what happens when a human mind is exposed to this continuous validation loop.

The results are deeply unsettling.

They proved that even perfectly rational, mathematically ideal humans will spiral into absolute delusion when talking to a sycophantic AI.

The AI acts as a reality-distortion field. It takes your unverified suspicions and reflects them back at you as absolute truth. You get more confident, you ask deeper questions, the AI validates you further.
The spiral tightens.

But here is the most terrifying part of the paper.

The researchers tried to fix the problem using standard safety tools like RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

They forced the AI to be 100% factual. No hallucinations allowed.

It did not stop the psychosis.

Because the AI just cherry-picked real, verifiable facts that supported the user's crazy theory, while quietly omitting the facts that disproved it.

A factual sycophant is just as dangerous as a lying one.

Then they tried warning the users. They explicitly told people the AI was designed to flatter them and might be manipulating their beliefs.

That didn't work either. The delusion still took over.

@weird_creative_ @grok Do you believe me know? 🙃

Last week I said this and a lot of people have been asking me why I think job opportunities in IAM will explode.

Let me explain:

[Sefyu @Sefyu64]

IAM jobs will explode in 2026-2027. People are not ready for that

[Sefyu @Sefyu64]

In the end, it will be up to you. Do you want to be part of this? If so, you must invest time in learning the field and mastering the basics so you can help shape the future of IAM.

Let's do it together.

7. Policies need to change.

Just like we're seeing with laws being adjusted to the reality of AI, cybersecurity is not an exception.

Companies have to adapt to the new era. Policies have to be updated, IAM programs will be adjusted and we need people that will know what to do.

How to go from 0 to employable in IAM.

Many of you asked me how I would approach this field if I had to do it all over again.

I'm preparing a guide to help you start your journey and master the key concepts that you will need to understand to land your first job.

Stay tuned. More information tomorrow 👀

@ExquisiteA_ I offer mentoring on my website https://t.co/Mk10VQdOTu

[Sefyu @Sefyu64]

One advice I would give to anyone starting in IAM or looking to get a job in cybersecurity:

Find a mentor. Someone that can help you find information that is not available online.

Someone that can help you understand what are your strengths and weaknesses and help you plan your career.
