What kinds of interview questions can you expect for a senior tax manager or tax director position in industry? Curious as to what they might ask about - technical or experience or behavioral? If you have examples that would be very helpful.

Competence is assumed at that level. The interview is a vibe check to see if you will mesh with the team.

The person interviewing you will probably not have enough tax knowledge.

Yeah director levels in large corporates aren’t interviewing with the CFO. Head of tax, yes probably, CFO absolutely not.

That’s AVP/VP level candidates for say F250 or so that the CFO is actually taking the time to meet.

For the initial question, I interview any technical tax candidates, if they don’t know tax, they’ll be dinged before they get to head of tax level.

It’s a big4 trope of partners smoking their own dope that somehow large in house tax departments don’t have any technical skills.

If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?

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?
