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

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female. So it's like they automatically think the only things I would be good at writing about are fluffy little human interest stories. I'm just a reporter like everyone else. Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.

Hi all,
Been doing privacy for about a year now in-house. Got my CIPP/US.
Having major imposter syndrome still. I feel like the minute I finally have a grasp, something changes. The law and nuances just seem overwhelming. Maybe it’s just a lack of guidance/uniformity in the US. I’m not sure if I feel this way because it is simply the nature of the work or because I’m just not capable.

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.
