Junior positions in privacy are a little more tough to come by, just an FYI

This is very true but I’ve found you can find ways to carve your own path. I’m at an AMlaw100 doing L&E and commercial lit. However during interviews, I expressed my passion for privacy work and my interest in pursuing privacy work. The firm thought it was a great way for me to develop a niche as an L&E lawyer so they allow me to dedicate a certain portion of my practice to working with the privacy attorneys in the firm. It is hard for a junior to get a role that is 100% privacy, but there are ways to get privacy work within firms. Plus firms see the value in privacy work so most places will be open to letting you do some, even if your major practice area isn’t privacy

I’m a new associate working for a well-known defense attorney in my state.

I am here to learn and advance my career but he can be pretty nasty. (My mistakes are no worse than you’d expect a 1st year associate to make, in case you’re all wondering if I’m a major screw-up who deserves it) I leave work feeling a foot tall.
