      Before I moved into big tech space I wasn’t familiar with the role grade of security architect, and neither was my prior company. They had an architecture team where those within it were enterprise/security architects. I think that’s perfectly fine tbh, but I suppose could be confusing if you come from tech world.

    Im looking to switch positions soon. I work as a partner for a startup with some friends. Does it look bad on a CV to list this experience? I’m worried they’ll think I’m trying to milk 3 jobs at the same time, instead of replacing my current day job

      Maybe some HM’s would think that. I wouldn’t tbh. Your entrepreneurial spirit might even be a benefit. If they like you as a candidate but are worried about any conflicts of interest they will just ask you. You’ll just need a confident response to allay any potential fears.
