What are some potential exit options for a lawyer who has been practicing in-house in big tech for 4+ years? It’s been very broad range of areas, like privacy, product etc.

Any previous firm experience? If not, I’d see if you can spin your in-house experience for a junior role in privacy or tech transactions at a law firm. If you have previous firm experience, then replace “junior” with an appropriate seniority for the YOE. If you’re wanting to exit law altogether, ESG is a pretty big area (and privacy is a component to that). There’s going to be a large need for ESG program managers, etc. at companies of all sizes and in all industries. IMO, it’s the next huge hiring area.

Are you planning on exiting law completely or just the job you're at? Without knowing I'd say look at consulting for start up for initial assessments and the like for privacy and other cyber concerns.

Privacy and product counsel roles with that experience level are very common in a variety of industries. I would try searching companies you’re interested in on job boards, LinkedIn, etc.
