Cybersecurity Career Choice as a Fresher

I’ve just completed my ILP training and received two cybersecurity project opportunities. I’d appreciate your advice on which path would be better for long-term growth.

Option 1 – Network Security (Pune)

Working on IDS/IPS (Palo Alto)

Proxy (Symantec/Broadcom)

Identity policy configuration

Monitoring, WAF, bot detection

Exposure to on-prem & cloud security tools

Option 2 – Identity & Access Management (Bangalore)

SSO implementation

Okta

Authentication processes

As a fresher, which domain would offer better learning, growth, and salary potential in the long run... Network Security or IAM/SSO?
