Did I just open myself up to a lawsuit for employee poaching? A former colleague of mine (I was their mentor & project lead, not her boss) has been wanting to leave since around the time I left. In conversations as friends I’ve told them about my job and how I miss working with them and that no matter where they went next I’d be a reference and stay a mentor. I said things like the minute I can hire someone, you’ll be my first call… (continued in comments)

Which takes more study time to finish CIMP or CIPP/E?

New to the U.S., is the Healthcare Industry (via HIPAA), the only industry in the U.S. that legally mandates having a designated Privacy Officer? So for example, although GLBA has obvious privacy requirements, unlike with healthcare, financial institutions in the U.S. are not mandated by law to have a designated Privacy Officer?

IAPP is such trash. Why does everyone recommend getting the CIPP certs when they mean nothing??

Planning to take the CIPP and CIPM. Will be doing self-study. What is the “book” everyone refers to for studying? Is it just the “study guide” the IAPP sells? Does anyone know if the study guides and sample questions you can buy on amazon are sufficient to use for passing? Appreciate any and all advice.

To the data privacy attorneys in this bowl: How did you end up in this practice area? It feels like there’s such a high barrier to entry. Sincerely, a 2nd year desperately trying to switch career fields having applied to (what feels like) a million jobs.

Trying to study for my CIPP certification during the holidays. I bought a hard copy of the US privacy law book published by the IAPP. Whats the best way to study?

Firms hiring in Texas, Iowa or remote? Junior associate with CIPP (US +E), CIPM, and a post-grad fellowship in cybersecurity.

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.
😔

Low billable, low pressure work in privacy law? Slowly realizing that as my boys get older, the money isn’t worth what I’m missing out on. Currently a tech litigation associate with lots of hearing, depo and trial experience (I’ve appeared on my own at hearings/depos) at a well respected firm. I have limited privacy experience despite being hired for that reason… Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Remote preferred; hubs is pilot with cool intl transfer opportunities. Money isn’t issue.

Anyone else swamped? EOQ? New SCCs? Deals?

Any breach counsel seeing the work dry up lately?

Tips to make a lateral move from Lit to tech trans? I want to make the change at a new firm and have a recruiter. I have spoken to a few firms but for IP lit positions. Anyone know of firms that retool? I am a junior associate at a v10 firm NYC.

Advice needed!! Have 8+ years of compliance/legal/in house experience (not privacy law except HIPAA). I really want a Privacy Counsel role so I took and passed the CIPP/US and CIPM exams this past year. I’ve been offered an Associate Director job at PwC. Is this a good stepping stone to a Privacy Counsel role? How long should I expect to work at PwC before I could apply to Privacy Counsel roles??

I know a 3L who is looking for privacy jobs at firms. I’m in-house so not sure where to point them. Are any firm privacy groups hiring first years right now?

Does anyone have any recent insights on CAN SPAM risk? This comes up all the time in deal diligence (especially on RWI deals) and I just can’t see the potential for any practical risk in most cases. Am I wrong? (FYI—I know the current threshold for what “could” be imposed for violations).

Hi all, I’m seeking to transition into data privacy and am seeking advice from everyone. I’m currently studying for the CIPP/US test. I have 5+ years experience with HIPAA and GDPR. What would you recommend (outside of the IAPP book) for study materials and what is the outlook for someone with periphery data privacy experience seeking to deep dive into the field? Thanks in advance.
