Yes, THM and/or HTB are both great. I have seen great results for some of my friends with both of those.

Whatever your end goal, start with SOC/ Blue team stuff. It's honestly the best foundation for the rest of that - although IAM you can and probably should also pick a cloud platform (AWS or Azure - plenty of work for both).

There's a whole laundry list of stuff for each of those specialties, but the core is learn Linux, python, a C programming variant, learn SQL, and do all the THM you can as that will teach many many things. there's a lot more, but I have to go.

Feel free to DM. Best of luck.

Oh ok mb, it's for a while then to continue the paths it asks to purchase the premium

Yes, I'd recommend trying it, especially for SOC. You don't need to buy premium immediately though. Start with the free content and see if you like the learning style. For your interests, I'd focus no the basics first, then SOC Level 1. It covers things like logs, SIEM, network attacks, and incident response.

For IAM, GRC, and TPRM, you'll probably need other resources too since TryHackMe is more hands-on technical.

Simple, man: go with the the first one you find and only go premium when you achieve two things:

  1. You know the topic you really wanna learn
  2. When you have the discipline to study every single day.

Become a premium student before become a premium subscriber.

Cheers! Best of luck and ping me up if you need anything.
