If you haven’t already, look up teaching responsibilities that transfer into project management, to tailor your resume towards that career. So many things we do as teachers transfer into the PM world. Goodluck!

Bring a teacher is project managing tons of tiny humans. Use that. Speak to it. Teaching is an asset as a PM, because you can already do the hardest thing about it: understand and manage multiple personalities.

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?
