No one chooses SALT. I’ve never heard a single undergrad say “I want to do SALT”

Happenstance, but I like how there’s always something new happening.

State and local was actually my favorite class in my masters program. You can visualize it versus some of the oddities about international taxation. Was a generalist for almost 15 years first (took me to SM in PA) before a becoming a dedicated SALT person in both industry and now PA as a Director

was put into it when i started but stayed because it’s pretty easy and no crazy hours at my firm. i do more with sales tax then income tax.

I think the better question to ask is “why did you stay in SALT?” lol

It just kind of fell on my lap 🤣 In school I never heard of SALT. SALT people dont even go to campus recruiting event.

My boyfriend suggested I pay more of the down payment for a house when we get married since I make more (~35K) & have been working longer than him by a few years. He’s going to save as much as he can. Is it reasonable id prefer waiting until we can split the down payment 50/50? Or should I put more of the down payment and then we adjust paying off the monthly mortgage? Clarification: we’re buying ONCE we get married!

I’m on Chapter 21 of Becoming where Michelle Obama states people pay more attention to her clothes than her actual words. I can relate to this on a smaller scale. My former manager in 2019 would poke fun at my hair color (I’m going grey and love Overtone) rather than ever give me feedback on my job performance. I finally confronted him and told him I’m not sensitive but it was “getting old.” Can anyone else share a similar circumstance?

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years. That's the only IRA account I own. Do I need to open a traditional IRA and roll over 6k + realized gains into that account and keep the Roth IRA. So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.
