Reached out to a recruiter, connected with hiring manager, went through a number of interviews with manager, peers, and colleagues over the course of 3 weeks. Beware that Optiv has a brutal non-compete clause in all of their offer letters that is non-negotiable. This is extremely rare in the cyber industry. After speaking with a lawyer who provided very vague and high-level answers there was clearly no negotiating room. This was not communicated until the offer-letter was received and led to turning down the offer.
