Has anyone done recently an interview for US tourist visa in London? The waiting times for an appointment are over 6 months - is it possible to get it faster at all?

I heard of people going to Dublin to get earlier US embassy appointments. Was for work visa though, and not sure if its the same for tourists

You should keep checking for appointments at random times. I was applying in January and it was showing me appoints after September. But one fine day I randomly spotted a slot for March and booked it immediately.
So just book whichever date you're getting, and then keep checking back.
You can change the slot multiple times.

Are managers at Forvis really making $220k a year? I was with BKD for quite some time and felt quite underpayed.

I jumped ship over a year ago and nearly doubled my salary to move into consulting, and I have been recently promoted to manager and have what I feel is an adequate salary ($150k as a first year manager LCOL)
