If the tax cuts expire as planned, investors are likely to turn to municipal bonds to offset the increase in taxes. My latest for WSJ looks at a growing number of state specific ETFs from high issuing states that could be bolstered esp if the SALT cap is retained

Some of the weirdness is academia has a fairly extreme demographic contraction from the Boomer retirement wave because not only was it a i) big cohort that ii) worked later in our industry but iii) structural changes shifted the share of TT jobs in the field, altering career dynamics.
In general, I'd see it as "what service does the field ask of you?" Being asked to edit top journals or review external tenure files? You're considered senior in the practical sense of the word. Internally, I'd say it's defensibly defined as being associate level and certainly at being full.
