Based on recent experience, how much time do you typically have to accept or decline a job offer once it’s extended—around 7 days, or is it usually more or less? I may receive an offer late next week while still being in the middle of the interview process for another role that’s my top choice (both at large tech companies), so I’m trying to understand what’s realistic in terms of timelines and flexibility. I also want to acknowledge that I know this is a fortunate position to be in given market

Around a week or 2 should be reasonable...of they pressure you faster, that's a red flag

Did the offer indicate urgency in filling the position (through the hiring process anytime)? Sometimes positions are open for a short period before they are internally cancelled due to budget reasons. So companies may pressure you to either accept or decline - helps them to recruit the next candidate before HR comes down and forces them to cancel the position itself.
You’re in a good spot with an offer. Any negotiation for more than 3-4 days would be seen as a hedging effort and raise red flags. There really is no reason to either accept or negotiate for better terms or decline unless somebody is negotiating with another or current employer.
Good luck.

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?
