AT&T announced last week they had a breach impacting all its over 110M wireless customers and others.

They filed a notice with the SEC under the new cyber rule. They said the event was not material to the company or its financial condition.

How is that the case if the disclosure was delayed twice by the DOJ for national security reasons? If this is not “material,” what is? What do you all think?

Lame CPA jokes?

How far do you require depts be with negotiating commercial contract terms before your legal review? I’m talking routine low value and risk contracts (e.g., vendor services), where Legal terms won’t kill the deal. My clients blindly forward contracts. I say “are you sure this term is ok?” And often get “no.” They’re surprised because they never read them. Checking the temp to see what others experience, what might be normal. I feel contract training in my clients’ future...

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.

Looking at full-time and application asks for expected salary and then expected total compensation as a number. How should I figure out the second? Health insurance, bonuses, life insurance, equity, PTO? I studied art, not math.

A quick check. How many of you got the project after joining in coforge? If you got the project is it same client which was promised while interview process? Please respond.

How is everyone feeling amidst these layoffs? Hope everyone is taking care of themselves!

Many thanks in advance.

Advice needed!! Have 8+ years of compliance/legal/in house experience (not privacy law except HIPAA).

Is this a good stepping stone to a Privacy Counsel role? How long should I expect to work at PwC before I could apply to Privacy Counsel roles??

IAPP is such trash. Why does everyone recommend getting the CIPP certs when they mean nothing??
