got it done in a much shorter time frame

I just got it done in regular processing and took about 3 weeks to get passport back

in NY? You're lucky! it's been 3 weeks already and it was sent to the embassy last Wednesday. VFS told me this morning that it might be another 3 weeks after it goes to the embassy.
I'd rather not have the headache of this.

OP, so you did it normal and not tatkal? I'm planning on renewing my passport in NY and need to travel in April

Mine was unfortunately regular processing. A lot of people seem to have a quick turnaround with it, but I wish I'd have done tatkaal. It been over 3 weeks already, and this morning I was told it could be another 2-3 weeks (although VFS is not the most reliable at answering questions).
If you're in a rush, tatkaal might be worth it

What is the experience required to become senior manager in US taxation

I had a call w/ a recruiter and after hearing about the job, I *really* want it. But I’m worried I priced myself out of the role. I sent my resume/portfolio after and haven’t even gotten a reply that she received it, and I’ve followed up. I’ve been getting recruiter messages offering salaries up to 120k for copy/senior copy roles (which surprised me) so I gave 110-120 as a range on the call. She hesitantly said she thought 115 would be OK. But wondering if the salary could be the issue? Thought?
