There are, and will be, a handful of product counsel roles coming up.
(1) Network and get a referral; we get lots of applications, you need to stand out.
(2) make sure your resume meets ALL of the requirements of the role; if not, you’ll be screened out early
(3) very likely that the open roles won’t be for Bay Area or NY, it’s basically non negotiable. but secondary cities like DC, Boston, Chicago, Seattle… if the job posting lists one of those cities and you’re in another similar city, apply anyway
Obviously just apply. But, if you can network (firm alums; law school alums…), all the better. If you’re looking to go in-house, you should be working your network extensively.
Is privacy your primary practice area? It’s not easy for anyone, but those people seem to have a better time transitioning right into positions at Google. Anecdotally I know several
You should get a referral from someone there if you happen to know anyone. Will help get your foot in the door for an interview.
Also note they've been hiring legal more in lower cost of living cities. From what I've heard it's much harder to get a legal job there in NY or Bay Area.

That said, it happens every day.
Best of luck!
Yes, my background is also 7 years of privacy law. ☺️
