What actually surprised you about your role after you got your CIPP?
The exam prepares you to understand the law. But when people get the privacy officer title and land a role, they often find that the exam didn't prepare them for the organizational reality (unclear authority, competing priorities, leadership that hired you without knowing what to do with you).
I'm curious what caught people off guard in the first 90 days. What did you wish someone had told you before you started?
