Mortgage Interest Deduction – Two Homes, when both mortgages are acquisition debt secured by two different qualified residences:

Which method is correct under IRS rules?

A) Combine both loans and apply the $375,000 limit per spouse across the total average mortgage balance, then apply the cap to total interest.
OR
B) Treat each mortgage separately, applying the $375,000 limit to each loan individually, then sum the deductible interest from both.

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
