Can anyone recommend a good book/materials to prep for the CIPP/CIPM? 🙏🏽

Advice needed!! Have 8+ years of compliance/legal/in house experience (not privacy law except HIPAA). I really want a Privacy Counsel role so I took and passed the CIPP/US and CIPM exams this past year. I’ve been offered an Associate Director job at PwC. 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??

Low billable, low pressure work in patent lit, tech trans or privacy law? Slowly realizing that as my boys get older, the money isn’t worth what I’m missing out on. Currently a patent litigation associate with lots of hearing, depo and trial experience (I’ve appeared on my own at hearings/depos) at a well respected firm. Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Just feeling the burn out; 2000 hours of billables a year just isn’t sustainable for me long term. Money isn’t a huge issue.

My local Chinese grocery store seems to be stocked very well according to my mom! The only good thing about all this anti-Asian xenophobia is I can buy more frozen turnip cakes and Xiao Lon bao

I live in Florida. Wearing a mask in the grocery store is stifling and I fight the urge to rip off my mask because it’s so hot. I don’t know how I’ll make it through an entire day of teaching wearing a mask when it feels like I’m suffocating. Is anyone else wondering the same thing? And if I’m feeling like that I’m sure some students will, too. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Most of my cases don't ever even reach litgation. However, I just settled my first case that I truly thought was going to trial. The feeling is odd. A mix between satisfaction and disappointed. We won but it was still odd.

I will ask to go fully remote with a couple of in office days a month if necessary (we will be like 3 hours away with the move from my current job). But my job is a big unknown right now Super high anxiety about all the unknowns. Help
