On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you with your career in SALT? I'm probably a 7...I like the challenging work and the money but in the back of my mind I always wish I went in a more creative direction.

What money?

Right?

Same for me too. 7 i guess

6, Our deadline is monthly, it’s very stressful every month to meet deadlines. My time worth more than what I get paid especially I have to work overtime at least two weekends a month.

I like the cycle.

About an 8 for the exact same reasons you mentioned. My hobbies are my mental break and I get to express myself and execute my ideas that come to me naturally. I really like the balance. Plain and simple I became an accountant, so I’d be able to afford my own studio and build a dark room. I’d like to combine my pro skills and interests to be treasurer of a FA museum or foundation. Currently working in SALT I’m pretty far off that path…

Solid 10

Right now, 9. A&M pays a premium for M&A folks

7.5. I enjoy the work and the challenge I get where I can help structuring and be creative with how we align merges entities, but dealing with some of the leadership in my group is like drawing nails across the chalk board

Anyone ever move from an internal role to one with external clients? I manage a learning function for a line of business and pondering the next move: industry, startup, consulting...

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

New Jersey partnership question.

Partnerships need to use market sourcing for purposes of calculating NR withholding tax (though NJ doesn't even call this withholding anymore).

However, for purposes of calculating the NJ distributive share of income, you apply Gross Income Tax (personal income tax) rules, which is 3 factor and includes COP.

If I end up with 0% apportionment under GIT and 10% apportionment under CBT (withholding tax), the partnership pays tax upfront but NRs get 100% refund?
