HiYes, they can do anything they like and will adjust based on the circumstances. Submit your CV to the competitors and then follow up with a phone call saying you are at the late stages with Deloitte so would appreciate anything they can do to speed things up. I have fast tracked many such applications.As that progresses, phone Deloitte and tell them how you are advancing with a competitor. Clearly, in both cases your preference is their job, but you also need to be pragmatic.Remember having an offer from the competition is further validation that you are good. Also, human nature means people want something more if there is a chance they cannot have it :)Best of luck
