[QUOTE="c1070, post: 83585, member: 5276"] I’m sure you’ve made your decision by now, but for what it’s worth I had a sort of similar situation. Firm A offered me the start date I wanted (similar position to you- I’m working and living in London so want to get going ASAP) and firm B told me that they couldn’t confirm an earlier start date until after I had signed and this might not be until a few months later and even then it wasn’t guaranteed. I explained my situation to them and they were adamant on the phone that they’d do their best but couldn’t guarantee. I sent an email where I politely reiterated the situation and explained that I had an earlier state date offer from firm A and they replied saying they could bring me forward! I know it’s totally dependent on the firm and their capacity, and I thought hard about sending my email as I didn’t want to come across as cheeky/like I wasn’t listening to them saying they couldn’t confirm for a while. But for me it worked and I signed with firm B and it feels great! [/QUOTE]
