For the most part, this isn't a bad squat. There are just a few things that need to be cleaned up.
As far as the weight goes, I wouldn't worry about 275. Go to 220 and see what that's like. Maybe you won't be so worried about 230 when you're at 220. Maybe 275 will be in your future someday, but you need to get to 220 before you get to 275. It's not a fast process. You can evaluate as you go. Don't think about bulking or cutting. Think about getting enough calories and protein to make progress.
