I would not be too worried about doing this...

- Gauge the mood of the recruiter first.
- Ask very politely, don't insist and paint yourself into a corner.

Good: My wife has a good job in XXX domicile and I'd like to be based there.
Bad: Props are for second-rate losers; I want to get right into that big shiny 900 that I so obviously deserve.
