How is the culture of the legal teams in big tech (Apple, Google, Meta)? Also, what is the comp structure like at these companies?

Good lord. Privacy folks still applying to meta? You’ll be laid off in 3 years. Way too silo’d, way too many cooks in the kitchen, no central CPO

If it’s money and tech complexity fine but plan on needing a new job in 3-4 years

Smh.

Very team dependent. Loved my team at the FAANG I was at but got laid off in 2022

On comp, JWMichaels has a new comp survey out that is worth a read

when it comes to Legal teams, IO believe Microsoft is more varied in terms of learning experience and people. They're more stable than Google, Meta and Amazon or Apple

Not sure if this is the right place, but in a privately owned business located in a right to work state, is verbal abuse allowed and would swearing at and putting down an employee in front of a bunch of other employees and in front of customers be deemed verbal abuse? Can owners demand you work a certain amount of hours a week if it’s 100% commission?

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.

Many thanks in advance.

So as a 30ish yo with a government/PE/tech background and CIPM/CIPP… I’m finding privacy work is just much easier and interesting than other kinds, but still pays plenty well.

Is it too late/inadvisable to go to law school to specifically aim for privacy work?

I just find some firms are unwilling to entertain the idea that anyone but a lawyer has anything relevant to contribute in this space…
