Multiple layoff rounds, very long bench life, Ss and Ms were jumping ship, SMs leaving for other practices or industry, went from 3 partners leading the practice down to 1.

If you’re thinking certs wise, I would go with CIPP/E since everyone does business with the EU.

Role wise, look at big 4 sure, but also look at smaller ones to see if they have anything. It’s a tough market out there. Consider a (state) government role if you can find one.

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.

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.
😔
