Is it possible to rescue your career if you’ve spent junior though mid years at data breach mill firms? I have a good amount of privacy compliance experience and want to end up in-house, but I’m worried the stigma from working for “data breach mill” firms will keep me from ever being able to leave them.

Seeing as I can't name a single data breach mill firm, I don't think you are as stuck as you think. Frame your resume to highlight your privacy compliance work, your guiding companies on remediation post-breach.

I think you are fine as long as your have the privacy compliance piece and highlight it over the IR work and plan to move before you get too senior. I’ve seen more orgs actually looking for people with some IR background with compliance experience. I just always highlight in cover letters that I am a AC attorney vs IR

Very few folk from in house know what any of the firms are, so there’s mo real brand name tax. They care more about you having demonstrable experience.l and being a good team fit.

The issue isn’t the firm name, the issue is not being able to demonstrate the depth of experience and that will be a competitive disadvantage

People want to work with good people who can snap in quickly. All the experience in the world doesn’t matter if you aren’t likable. Shape the resume, develop good talking points/stories (STAR method), be a good dude/dudette, and go crush it!
