        One would have thought they would get this approved FIRST before interviewing! It's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out!

          I would make sure that Client A knows you have another offer and that you are waiting on them, but can only wait so long. It's amazing how fast things move once they realise they might lose something they want and you being in demand makes you seem even more like the thing that they want.

            Yes I told them this yesterday.....

            I've just received written confirmation and it's been signed off from their end! YAY!!!!

            Now to tell those time wasters to go jump in a diplomatic way!

            Thanks All!

Can take 5 days to get it checked so you've bought yourself some breathing space. If something else comes up advise B you reject as the terms of the contract are unacceptable. He won't be happy but you haven't done anything wrong up to this point.
              This.

              I don't see any dilemma really - you take what's on offer, subject to a contract being agreed. If A doesn't come back in time, then you take B. If you want to wait for A then you turn B down.
