I think I would learn more potentially at the smaller company, but don’t know exactly where I would be placed and don’t want to be focused on software work. The COO mentioned that I would be training to be put into the vulnerability researcher role.

The job at my current company I am interested in but need to verify how long the contract is because I would not want to be forced to move off of that team and into a non cyber team
