I’m down to do security contracting. I’m in a similar level of experience as the poster (HTB, CTFs) and work in Security engineering. I’d like to try more typical cybersecurity work, like malware analysis or offsec.

What companies / titles can I apply for to give it a shot? Open to getting a clearance.

Also open to government agencies if they’re in Austin.

If you are career focused and doing this type of work then relocating near the capital is a no-brainer. It's the difference between being in finance and working on Wallstreet or working in Denver.

Have you considered San Antonio? The headquarters of Air Forces Cyber (aka AFCYBER aka 16th Air Force) and the Texas Cryptologic Center (aka NSA-Texas) are here. Plenty of government civilian/contracting cyber security jobs.
