[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 222868, member: 36777"] Hi [USER=39029]@berocca567[/USER] normally, you should wait for at least the end of their stipulated deadline (so, 3 weeks) before asking for an update. That said, it is completely acceptable to ask for an update sooner if there is a good reason for it, such as an expiring offer from another firm. This is quite a common situation, so I would advise you not to worry - simply email the firm explaining that you have an offer which will expire soon and that you therefore want to ask them to let you know about the outcome as soon as possible. If anything, you letting them know about this may advantage you, as firms are known to take a more favourable view of candidates if they are seen as being in "high-demand" - i.e. if one of their competitors has already made an offer. That said, if you prefer not to do this, I also cannot imagine it would cause any significant issues. You could simply accept the VS offer for now, and if you then get a TC offer and decide you no longer want to go on the VS, withdraw at that point - this is also a quite common situation and firms are accustomed to it.
