Hi folks, What is the current market worth of a security architect (cloud and application security) with 9.7 years of experience in India? 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. Certifications: CCSP, CEH, AWS SAA, AWS Security, Azure Security, bunch of other tool certs. I have interviews lined up with Honeywell, Deloitte, KPMG, Tata Play, GE, etc., and have tentatively asked for around 40% hike which comes up to ~35 LPA. Am I lowballing myself? Asking because I haven't applied anywhere in a long time. Looking for referrals as well if anyone's willing to help. #securityarchitect #cybersecurity #cloudsecurity #applicationsecurity #informationsecurity #india #indiasalary #bangalore #security #securityengineer
A personal portfolio in such market goes a long way. I have seen some folks who won $ 1000 bug bounty somewhere though the amount is not large but you get a lot of recognition. There is not enough data about compensation in this domain but pretty sure it is comparable to software engineering also I think the competition is less and might not require Leetcode 🙈
