What’s the top specialization to get Big Four & MNC jobs the fastest?
It’s not taxation, it’s not accounting, or auditing. It’s something else.
We run 80+ courses at LawSikho and Skill Arbitrage, catering to 17 different client categories, and 35 of them are “hero” courses, extremely popular with very high success rates.
Learners who follow insights are able to get decent jobs in approx. 6 months, and then move on to top pay-bracket jobs in their industry in another 6-12 months.
That’s a total of about 12-18 months to get to the top pay-bracket in their industry even if they are starting from scratch.
But there is one area where one can get to the top pay bracket even faster, where the demand supply gap is wider than ever, where jobs are abundantly available, and where there is barely any skilled talent.
Privacy and data protection is one such area, with the fastest pathway to get well-paying jobs with MNCs and Big Four, where you cater to the global privacy requirements for their head office and other international offices.
It is possible to get privacy jobs in as little as 3 to 6 months even if you start from scratch and have no prior background in data protection and privacy, once you learn a few skills and build an initial track record.
These jobs easily pay 10L to 20L per year even at entry level!
Many of these jobs lead to international positions in Canada, Dubai, Singapore and the UK in a period of a couple of years.
However, we are surprised by how few people know about this secret opportunity, which is open to a wide set of professionals – lawyers, CAs, CMAs, CS, HR professionals, admin & ops teams, and techies.
Given that no professional qualification or mainstream degree formally teaches privacy work even in theory, we have decided to conduct a free 9 hour training on this topic where we will explain what the work is like, how to find clients, and what kinds of opportunities are available.
Can’t believe it?
Here’s a selected list of 30 people who got jobs in Big Four & MNCs once they specialised in data protection and privacy management.
Some of them secured jobs after learning privacy skills even without specific help from our placement department!
Every month we are supporting more professionals to land such opportunities.
Do you want to know the roadmap that they follow?
Join us live in a free, 3-day online bootcamp where we will provide a step by step plan for free so that you can do it too, if you want.
We will also show you what the work is like and show you several techniques to pitch to clients and start doing privacy work so that you can get started in the next 7 days.
The bootcamp is live only, and no recordings will be available.
Make sure that you set an alarm on your calendar.
See you there!
