What certifications should I get if I’m looking to go into cyber like data breach matters?

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.
😔

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

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??

Is it too late/inadvisable to go to law school to specifically aim for privacy work?
