HI Fishes,

I am currently working as a senior research analyst with 4.5 years of experience in market research (report writing, proposals, market estimations, presale and post sales qeuries, etc.). Can you please suggest me with suitable openings and also a possible hike. I believe I am highly underpaid because I started my career with low salary. However, I think I deserve more. Could anyone please help. Seriously please help. Have a great day⛅

Planning to take the CIPP and CIPM. Will be doing self-study. What is the “book” everyone refers to for studying? Is it just the “study guide” the IAPP sells? Does anyone know if the study guides and sample questions you can buy on amazon are sufficient to use for passing? Appreciate any and all advice.

Hello, MSL grad student here, looking for externships 🙏

Hi all! I’m inclined on taking up the CIPM training and certification exam. I’m already a certified Data Protection Officer in the Philippines. I intend on skipping CIPP as it applies to the US and EU.

How difficult was the exam? Can you share your experience studying for the CIPM exam? Is it advisable to skip CIPP?

Many thanks in advance.
