Has anyone run across a humorous Privacy Policy that was understandable but still checked all the compliance boxes?

Does studying for Gmat/applying to business school count as a valid reason to take a sabbatical at D?

Just created my FIRST product! Can someone give my website a 10 second skim? It’s related to gratitude.

Any tips for helping to get operations work recognized? I’m officially in ops but cover programs, business, and catch-all organizational needs. In the last year we rebranded and scaled 500% (staff, program offerings, funding) and I was the sole employee covering organizational ops at 100% during that time. When I proposed a title and compensation review, I was told I didn’t achieve enough impact. Unfortunately skills in project management and operations are not weighed heavily in comp reviews.

Book recommendations for staring a CPG company?

Partner gets upset and calls me to complain every time I don’t turn a draft within 2hrs of receiving an email. This same partner has been sitting on a draft for two weeks. How do I get myself out of this situation? I’m at capacity, working as fast as I can, and they’re stressing me out.

OTS is growing rapidly and leadership has asked us SMs to assist with recruiting. One of our needs is for cybersecurity and data privacy consultants interested in M&A e.g. CISSP, CISA, CIPP, CIPM, etc

I have my first CSR interview Wednesday! Any CSRs that could give me a little insight on what I would be doing and how your interview was?

Anyone have any insights on when Coinbase will start allowing trades for Polkadot?

Anyone know of any locally owned/small biz pet stores in the Denver or Lakewood areas? :)

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Why is Tesla dropping despite great earnings report?

Any hope of the crime and homelessness every decreasing? I feel like I could never raise a family here, always have to look over my shoulder, and make sure my car is completely empty of any valuables. I miss the midwest 🥲

How is life in cognizant?
Like work life balance, culture, growth, etc... in general

Hi guys,
Looking for a referral in a fast growing tech startup for a business analyst role!!!

I am looking for opportunities in Dubai.. I have a PhD, 2 postdoc fellowships, have experience managing projects throughout my PhD and postdoc, currently senior consultant (i focus on systematic lit reviewss). Experienced scientific writer with over 30 peer reviewed articles. IQVIA in Dubai is one place am hoping to try. Can someone help point out what other industry I can fit into - i am mainly looking for a good work life balance.. any examples of companies in Dubai you can share?

A friend of mine has an expert sourcing startup and she has been receiving request asking for consultants to support in projects for top firms. Do you know how she can locate ex-consultants who are interested to freelance and work independently?

Hey habibis expats! The market in Dubai is obscure when it comes to compensation and benefits. I suggest we add clarity by posting salaries, role/position and years of experience here and anything else you want to add such as benefits. I’ll start:

- Industry: tech
- Role: finance manager
- YOE: 5 years
- Comp: 270k aed/year + 5% bonus
- Other benefits: work from Europe/US 1 month/year, 30 vacation days

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??

I am in-house at an insurance company and have decided to completely transition out of the insurance industry. I have registered to take the CIPP/US exams but was advised to take CIPP/E too. What else should I be doing? Potentially looking at entry privacy in-house corporate counsel positions.

Any good webinars or articles to help refresh knowledge of the CCPA/CPRA before an interview. I’ve been practicing in the field for a few years but just want to feel more confident on substance. Obviously looking at IAPP resources, but anything specific?

I was offered a DPO role at $215k + 15-20% bonus (no RSUs)… I asked for another $50k to the base or I walk. They said sorry. So I walked. I feel great about my decision. I have other offers on the table that pay $300TC. BUT if I didn’t have the other offers, what would you have recommended to do? Do agree that $215k base + bonus is too low?

Anyone take the CIPM recently? How was it?

Can creditors go after my US assets if I file for bankruptcy in a different country? Not sure if this is based on US law or that country's law (Spain)

My group (data privacy and cybersecurity) is hiring associates and partners. We do primarily incident response with some compliance on the side. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Any ideas on the EU-US privacy framework. Does this eliminate the need for SCCs? How are you all doing data transfers?

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

Hi all - we have an opening for our in-house data privacy group (big company with global presence). Looking for someone junior with 2-3 years of legal experience (big law is a plus) ideally working with tech contracts and knowledge of major data privacy laws (any experience demonstrating already starting to work in this space is a plus). This is a contracting-focused role, so hopefully you enjoy contracts or can see yourself enjoying it! Please DM for more deets. This can be remote!

Are there any noteworthy mid size or boutique firms for privacy law? If so, what are they?

How long do I realistically need to study for the CIPP/US? I am registered to take it next week and wondering if I should move it AGAIN or if you have some hacks where I can pass with the limited time I have? Thanks

When the GDPR wall went up, what side were you on - outside counsel or in-house - and how has your experience been since then?

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.

Trying to study for my CIPP certification during the holidays. I bought a hard copy of the US privacy law book published by the IAPP. Whats the best way to study?

Any thoughts on Sheppard mullin privacy team? Including the privacy fellow position they have up?

How Much Can You Sue an
Employer for Not Paying You?

For someone whose practice focuses almost exclusively on GDPR issues, how much prep is really needed for CIPP/E? I prepped extensively for CIPP/US (I felt over prepared) and want to add EU to my resume. I’m in house and farm a lot of work out to outside counsel, but am hoping to take on a bit more myself. I think the credential may help slightly. Does anyone know of the test has been updated post-Schrems and the recent new SCC and EDPB recommendations?

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!

Any advice on pivoting into a privacy counsel/associate role? Graduated from law school in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, took a JD advantage role in privacy at a FAANG company upon graduation as I had no offers lined up (Covid dried up a lot) recently promoted to program manager, but looking to pivot into a counsel role. Any advice on how to translate my experience or even get my foot in the door? Have I pigeon holed myself into an operations/consulting career trajectory? Stay on as a PM?
