Tips on dealing with vague instructions? Just got handed a project with the classic "this is urgent, but we have no clear idea of what we actually want" combo. The sense of impending doom is strong with this one.

Do you think your firm’s internal emails discussing a possible mistake are discoverable in a later legal mal case?

Any thoughts on including an allocution in your settlement agreements, where the settling parties say they’re satisfied with counsel’s work, etc. as a way to bar later legal mal claims related to the settlement?

Not sure if this is the right forum but - my H1B extension has been approved (just got to know today) but my driving license will expire soon.

I work for a nightmare of a CHRO. 100% bottom-line, 0% empathy. My husband and I decided to move out of state (back to where we are from) with a job lined up. What’s the best way to break this news to the most misogynistic, arrogant and elitist human ever? The concept of “Burning Bridges” is more than welcome.

What are the best books on sales as it relates to consulting?

Anyone have any recs for self help books? Looking for more relatable topics to myself I guess?

I don't know how some people do things that to me seem so risky. Maybe I'm just way too conservative.

A friend and spouse recently purchased a home twice the price of ours and took additional amount of loan on top "for paying off other debt." They make less than half what we make and owe three times as much in other stuff (car loans, cc, irs, etc). I'd be so stressed and likely wouldn't have taken such a loan (5.8%) for an even smaller home than ours. Just thinking about it stresses me out tbh.

Plan is to purchase some time after 2 years or so. Primarily to save up for a larger down payment.

Here’s my plan of attack:
- $30K saved right now ($20K in IBonds and $10K cash)
- $90K saved by July 2023
-$130K saved by 2023 and target a $800K home

Location: Suburbs of Boston, MA

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?

Mid/big law privacy associates- how much do you bill a month on average? is your workload predictable?

Looking for referrals to privacy practice at firms - not recruiters, associates only please. I am a senior corporate privacy associate with experience in counseling, compliance and regulatory advice. Experience with clients of all sizes and risk tolerances - start ups to global companies. No interest in firms that pay under market (no offense). TIA

Anyone have any suggestions on how to break into this field as a mid-level commercial litigator? I was thinking of taking the CIPP-US test but would that be enough to get some interview traction?

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

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.

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 feel like a mega nerd saying this but I just got staffed on my first data breach response and I'm having so much fun! 🥸😅

We already have vendors for DSARs and cookies. Do most people consolidate all these functions to one platform or use multiple? Anyone willing to share vendors they have had good or bad experiences with?
