This sounds exactly how I'd plan to exit. I'm trying to get out of the repetitive audits and pen tests cycle and into an SRE or devops position focusing on the cloud. I'd say take it.

Chino & a dress shirt - it feels weird but I was still overdressed compared to most of the interviewers

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice
