What level is a Data Privacy Officer within an organization? Is that akin to a Senior Director role? A VP role? Much lower? Or should one think of it as more of an individual contribution role?

I think it depends on the org, but I would generally say it’s a more senior role. Lower than c-suite or VP from what I’ve seen. Lots of my clients make their DPOs one of their general counsel members or hire an outside DPO

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

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.
