Tech trans vs privacy
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2021 1:57 am
I have an SA offer for a tech trans group and another offer from a different firm's privacy & cybersecurity group. The tech trans group would let me try some privacy assignments as well, but mostly transactional privacy (and could also involve some privacy compliance projects). The other firm's privacy & cybersecurity would allow me to do more in-depth work in privacy, not only product counseling and compliance, but also helping clients with FTC investigations.
I have some background in privacy, and I know that I will enjoy regulatory work. I don't know much about tech trans and a part of me is afraid that I would do a poor job because I don't have any transactional experience.
But one of my potential goals is going in-house. I wonder tech trans experience is going to be ultimately helpful in terms of building skillsets, even if I were to want to ultimately become a privacy counsel. Also, would it be easier to go from tech trans to privacy than vice versa?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Thank you!
