I need some advice on whether to stay or start looking: 11YOE (IP lit and then in house) - 3 years as director - privacy counsel PE tech. Functionally - global head of privacy and lead AI counsel. Seen as strategic business partner working with the CIO and senior leadership daily. “Sterling” annual review. $220base, no bonus, minimal low value stock options. My next step is Senior Director and I have asked for a title alignment to accurately reflect my impact. I think I’m operating at VP level.
