[QUOTE="Hopeful applicant, post: 245642, member: 43062"] 3 variables that would probably inform the decision: - Can you afford to not have a job for a year (not just financially) - What is the chance of converting (for some firms the VS is almost just a formality, while others have conversion rates of 1/4 or 1/5) - How much do you value one firm over the other? It is not that easy to go up in terms of the calibre of the firm, however, if you are satisfied with the sectors/salary, perhaps the best is the enemy of the good. As a side note, are you confident that you have to sign the TC firm right now? If so, it also will not hurt to contact the ohter firm and tell them about the pressure - you never know - maybe if the VS was a formality anyways, they may be willing to make an exception for you (especially if they run direct-tc applications) [/QUOTE]
