For the people who went back to school to pursue a totally different career, what did you do for work? I don’t think I’d be able to do both my current job and school. I did retail in college and that probably isn’t so smart right now. Neither is working at a restaurant. I don’t think I can go back and live with my parents. I feel like I’m stuck.

Hmm. No sure about side work that aligns directly. That’s awesome about switching careers to PT work. I’ve been having regrets about not doing PT of the sorts. I sit behind a desk way too much and want something more active. Obviously you don’t want part time school, but maybe start that way until you get your feet under you—at least until your clinicals, when you’ll have no chance of work & school. Check small businesses to see if they need freelance work, a lot struggle with bookkeeping.

I was an insurance agent. Started at PwC while in my junior year of a dual major.. accounting and finance. Continued on for an MBA. I'm in tax and it wasn't pretty going through peak season and school. I lived 110 miles from the office too.

Sucked but glad I did it. You can too!

Compliance question here, I have always thought of the SALT deduction on the fed return as a perm item & have treated as such in such sch M-3. I see that some people put it as a temp on sch M-3.

You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm. Does anyone know the logic behind temp treatment?

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?
