I see that as a great filter. Any company who thinks someone who can code and has good security knowledge is a problem, isn't a company you'd want to work for.

Security is so overlooked by coders it is not funny. And who is to blame them, if they are being measured on speed not quality. Having you in a team potentially means through osmosis having an entire team clued up on security issues a year later. It is such a win. Also... coders who have done other non tech stuff as a career I've found to be great to work with.
