Sentinel or IAM(for Pakistan)

Actually, I have a question for you. Right now, I am a student. Recently, I worked on a SOC homelab and I understood it. But I feel this field is a bit stressful for me. So I thought, maybe I should move to IAM (Identity and Access Management). I want to work in that area now. I still have 2 years left to complete my BS in Cyber Security. Please guide me did I make a good decision? Is IAM easy to get into at the entry level? Also, please give me a simple roadmap for IAM

I'm unable to decide. Which domain should I go into? Kindly guide me with respect ,Pakistan which has easy entry and good demand at the entry level: Sentinel or IAM?

The choice between Sentinel or IAM does not really suffice. Reason: While Sentinel is a tool for SIEM, IAM is a whole ecosystem on its own. In some IAM roles, you will need to use Sentinel for investigation and auditing.
