Hey, Privacy Consultant here. Most of my engagements are Privacy Program Management stuff. For certs, CIPP is typically seen as the best. If you're in the US then the CIPP/US is your go to.
Privacy Program Management in tech is basically an amalgamation of legal, engineering, and business management. The main gist of Privacy is that a company needs to know what data they have, what they are doing with it, and why to avoid legal /market risks. This means a lot of what I've done is either helping make/improve documentation and program governance, and work with teams to figure out what's going on with data.
I think it's interesting as a subject, but you end up working with so many different departments that some projects get bogged down in internal red tape. Considering the importance it has as a regulatory area and for company reputation/market-trust, our group in cyber has been relatively stable with work though.
I think it's a great area but it's also not for everyone since not everyone likes legal issues and that is privacy's main area of concern.

Privacy is one of those fields that remains mystical for some reason, but CIPP can be a very boring foot in the door. I think there are other privacy certs that focus on engineering aspects.
Yep, CIPP
