Re: Asking for timeline for decision after lateral callback

I had a lateral callback a little more than a month ago at a Vault-ranked firm in a major market, and am still waiting to hear back. I followed up about two weeks ago and was told that a decision should be coming "soon." Due to personal reasons related to moving, relocation, etc. (this firm is in a different city than the one I am currently living in), it would be really helpful (e.g. financially) if I could get a final decision before the end of this week. My question is - would it be acceptable to follow up with the recruiting contact at the firm, and request for a more definitive estimate as to when they will make a decision, by alluding to in broad terms these personal reasons?
I think as long as you are polite and understanding that they might not be able to give you a straight answer regardless, you might as well ask.
