What is the current market worth of a security architect (cloud and application security) with 9.7 years of experience ?
Skillset: Application and cloud security architecture, threat modelling, SSDLC, secure design reviews, SAST (code review), DAST/pentesting, DevSecOps, cloud native security (microservices, containers, Kubernetes), etc.
I have interviews lined up with Honeywell, Deloitte, KPMG, Tata Play, GE, etc. Just want to test the waters before I answer the salary expectation question.
These calls are easy, you’re not going to get grilled. They want to find you something that will be a good fit so be honest about the type of role you’re looking for. You usually have to do a lot of these to get one offer, in my experience anyway.
Be prepared to talk about yourself and accomplishments in pithy way, but above all be friendly and eager to partner on your job search! Good luck.
Don’t be afraid to ask the recruiter about their experience placing candidates in your area of work, at your level of experience or with companies like the ones you want to work for.
They’ll just get to know your background and skills better - more of a conversation but to the points above keep what makes you different ready and your areas of expertise
