Mid-level associate desperately trying to get out of IR completely. I started in IR and I have a few years of privacy compliance experience, but I can’t seem to get a job that completely takes me out of the IR world. Any advice? Especially for going in-house?

It can be hard to get out entirely for sure, but I’d also consider where you are at. I’ve been to a few firms that do IR and they are not all made equal. If you can get into one of the better ones/one of the ones that don’t do exclusive panel work/big law, the life can be much better (and you will get properly compensated to do it). Not sure where you’re at, but something to think about.

Then getting out can be easier because you have a better name on your resume.

In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
