Anybody here know much about Bakersfield with respect to its potential growth as a city in the next decade? I know there's "nothing to do" there relative to metro LA, but are there any plans/news/rumors for the city to transform (beyond the proposed HSR station)?

It saw serious growth during the pandemic so you may be behind the trend. Folks that want to stay in California but not live in LA/SF will consider it but a lot of those people just move to Texas so it’s sort of niche (lots of family in CA of love for national parks are basically the only 2 reasons).

Californias plan for population is to build more in downtown city areas so don’t think Bakersfield is necessarily “in the plan” for the state

Hi all! Has anyone else been interviewing for in-house, mid-level Privacy counsel roles?

Is anyone else finding that these assessments are becoming more of a norm in the interview process for privacy roles? Thoughts on this or advice? Thank you!
