Tips for transitioning to privacy counsel/compliance? I’m a former L&T attorney looking to make a switch (preferably in house at a FinTech). Just passed the CIPP/US, but haven’t seen much of a response from companies or recruiters. Also, if anyone has a recruiter they would recommend, I’d be very interested!

And for anyone who may have seen my previous post from a while back, I also passed FINRA’s SIE and Series 63 - though they’re a bit less relevant to my search at this time. Any ideas/help/comments would be appreciated!

L&T = landlord-tenant?

Hey! Yep, specifically tenant rights for a nonprofit. Basically a public defender for evictions. So it is a bit of a shift.

How are you doing with your search?

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics?

For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

I’ve been practicing in both big law (many yrs ago) and now in-house for over 10 years. Quite often I struggle because I don’t find work fulfilling.
