Networking with whatever firm or or organization needs to happen well before you decide on applying to the job. Additionally, you need to make sure that you have something on your resume with privacy background/ certifications in this area. I have so many students reach out to me saying that they are passionate about privacy/AI but there’s nothing on their LinkedIn or resume to back this up. I am now seeing more and more law students with IAPP certifications /experience so there is more competition in this area.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.
