I work as an automation engineer and I’ve been wanting to work as a product manager at companies like Capital One American Express etc etc. For senior associate PM roles can anyone guide me with what I’d need in my profile to be a good candidate and what I should expect in the interview process. These are long term goals and I just wanted to prep from now and apply 8-10 months down the line.

Following. But the role is Sr. Associate PM? That just sounds like a PM. Sr. PM would be even higher and difficult to jump directly into I’d assume.

Any chance you could guide me how to prep for these interviews and what resources would help? I’m kinda new to it, I’m looking to transition to a PO role fn within my org and get some of that experience in 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. What is the justification for treating it as a temp on the 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?
