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

like

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

Hi all! Has anyone else been interviewing for in-house, mid-level Privacy counsel roles? I have found these interviews to be extremely demanding (11+ 45min-1hr interviews with technical/legal specific questions + 10hr writing assessment). Has any one else experienced this? 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!

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.

Low billable, low pressure work in privacy law? Slowly realizing that as my boys get older, the money isn’t worth what I’m missing out on. Currently a tech litigation associate with lots of hearing, depo and trial experience (I’ve appeared on my own at hearings/depos) at a well respected firm. I have limited privacy experience despite being hired for that reason… Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Remote preferred; hubs is pilot with cool intl transfer opportunities. Money isn’t issue.
