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 need some career advice. I finished my master's degree in international law (B.A.Sc international relations) but I am not sure where to go from here. I always wanted to join a big firm and I've applied to different vacancies in international firms/companies but got rejected from all of them.
Does anyone have any tips on certain job positions or companies where an LLM would prove to be useful with my background?
I'm starting to feel quite stuck in this situation and it's very demoralising.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
