Additional Posts in In-House Counsel
Recently moved in-house and struggling with how to document my contributions (keep a “brag list” if you will) for purposes of review season and eventual bonus/promotion/raise discussions. At a firm it was fairly easy to point to high billables, high profile deals, praise from particular partners or clients. Now I’m struggling because my work is so….day to day. Mostly negotiating typical sales contracts. Very few opportunities for visibility or high profile contributions if that makes sense.

CLEs are a good place to start, and taking notes every time you talk to your in-house or external privacy counsel.
You may also want to see if your company would pay for you to become CIPP certified (something I'm looking into at the moment myself).
Would recommend against CIPP/IAPP.
Professor solove has some good materials, CLEs, some of the big firms have decent privacy blogs
I totally agree that the CIPP is just something to show interest. The exams themselves don't prove anything. A lot of the question are subjective and clearly not meant for lawyers (I have the CIPP/US, EU, and Canada). And don't get me started on the lectures. What a waste of time and money.
BUT. With all that said. The latest updates to the books are actually very helpful for someone that just wants to learn the basics on their own. The EU book is mostly a GDPR 101 book and the US book a CCPA one. So if anything, just buy the ebooks and skim through them on your own time
Use practical law, it has really good framework and overview for privacy law, or anything
