Heard only about ~1% of Europeans have requested “the Right to be Forgotten,” aka have their online data removed. How does one confirm the veracity of that statement? If true, does that in conjunction with how most Americans willingly give up their info online validate the theory that most Europeans and Americans don’t value (per their action) “privacy” as much as they claim?

Planning a trip to Chile over Thanksgiving. Would love recs on itineraries and things to do!

What is the salary bump from M to SM in EY-OTS group? Is it a fixed $ or on a % basis and does it matter if you are already on high end of the M band?

Recruiters, have you ever had someone accept an offer letter and before they started “quit” to go somewhere else they found out they got accepted? Is this a common occurrence?

Wife had her retrieval this morning. Apparently 22 eggs retrieved. What to expect now?

So I chose an awful week to start DCAing into the market with my savings 😂.... What's the next step? Do I keep DCAing in or do I wait until a bullish trend? Buying etfs, indexes, and a few stock picks to keep a fairly balanced portfolio

does the money in this profession (i.e. tax) come with time? it’s been a hard few years and sometimes i feel foolish for choosing this. at least knowing long term i can one day make low to mid 100s may make it worthwhile

edit: i’m non-tech (provision/compliance focused in MCOL)

Hi everyone,

Is £48k a decent salary in London? That's roughly 3k net/month.
I'm a 27M, single.
I'm thinking of renting a room for 750/800 a month, that leaves me with ~£2100, if I get the Oyster card that's another 150, and for groceries/going out I guess I won't need more than 600/month.
That allows me to save ~£1400/month.
Am I being too optimistic/unrealistic?

Thanks!

Anyone working with Johnson & Johnson IT team. Have an opportunity to work with J&J as a senior business analyst.

I have received higher package than Accenture offered to me.
Can I renogotiate second time with Accenture for match?
I already negotiated once by sending one of the offer breakup o had.
Can I do it again or if I do so they may cancel offer letter?

🔥I asked for #1 joining bonus in BNY but not received joining bonus.
#2 Demanded 10-20% extra on current offer but they matched offer and release offer without discussion ( I accepted as backup )
Week of difference in 1st company (wk-1)& BNY( wk-2).

Bny purposely release matching offer ? will they increase offer & provide joining bonus ?

Note: 1 month NP pending & nothing in pipeline ( reduced interview call)

Best way to handle such scenario to get best result from bny

You input?

What skills should marketers be developing right at this moment to set themselves up for success in the coming years?

Good luck to anyone working in cybersecurity / privacy this weekend 🥲🥲

Thoughts on v.2 of the CPRA regs?

Do law firms ever cover the cost of the CIPP/US certificate?

Looking to pivot to privacy from m&a midlevel. Any advice would be appropriated!

Can we talk about privacy vendors? We are looking for a platform to handle data inventory and/or data discovery, as well as automating the privacy impact assessment process. We already have vendors for DSARs and cookies. Do most people consolidate all these functions to one platform or use multiple? Anyone willing to share vendors they have had good or bad experiences with?

Hi all, I am an incoming fifth year associate at a midsize firm in New York with a combined corporate and data privacy practice. I have two IAPP certifications. I would like to transition in house, but feel rather stuck. Any advice on where to begin?

Govt attorney here. Trying to jump into privacy now. In house or big law ? Pros and cons in the world of privacy ?

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.

I am in need of advice. I've spent the last few years working on the foundations for a career in privacy and would like to keep doing so. But not in practice due to a prior suspension, character limits limit explanation, and I don't want that life. I applied for my dream job for my first major career goal and was told not just no but never. Never would I be allowed to work in my company's legal department.

Is this what I should expect? Nevers? Just give up and regroup?
Thanks folks.

Any advice for a soon-to-be third year privacy associate looking to move from a midsize firm to in house somewhere? I’m CIPP/US certified if that matters. Open to getting other credentials if they’ll help. Thanks in advance!

I work in environmental health enforcement/administrative litigation for a government agency. I would like to pivot my career to privacy law, even entry-level positions, but I only get rejections. Do you have any advice on how to break in? I have educational and work experience in healthcare and pharmaceuticals.

Has anyone been successful negotiating a “breach notification costs” provision in contracts with vendors? What are some good args to include it? I feel like vendors generally flat out say “no”, but I have seen some contracts where vendors were willing to include it and I’m wondering how that happened 😁

Welcome welcome. Other privacy professionals or lawyers in these parts?

If you are an experienced lawyer (15+ years out of school) but have only recently started doing privacy work (2-3 years), what level privacy roles do you apply to or have you had success in getting? Should I be willing to take a more junior attorney role since I don’t have years and years of privacy experience? Will companies pass over my resume because I’m too experienced? I’m currently in-house and only interested in in-house roles.

Any other privacy attorneys wondering what this app is doing with all of our data?

Firms hiring in Texas, Iowa or remote? Junior associate with CIPP (US +E), CIPM, and a post-grad fellowship in cybersecurity.

Is there any additional tangible value in getting the CIPM in addition to the CIPP (I.e., will a company hire a candidate with both the CIPP and CIPM over one with just the CIPP, if both candidates have same YOE)?

My firm is looking for a privacy associate with incident response experience. If you’re interested, feel free to message me! Amazing firm and fully-remote.

Hi all, I’m seeking to transition into data privacy and am seeking advice from everyone. I’m currently studying for the CIPP/US test. I have 5+ years experience with HIPAA and GDPR. What would you recommend (outside of the IAPP book) for study materials and what is the outlook for someone with periphery data privacy experience seeking to deep dive into the field? Thanks in advance.

Just accepted a new role in-house and have had several recruiters reach out this week with new positions. If you are looking for a mid level in-house privacy role let me know and I can put you in touch.
