What is a generally accepted timeframe to accept a job offer? Especially if you're waiting for another offer to come in to effectively weigh your options?

<1 week.

I’ve seen ppl get a few days for competive jobs like PE or PM. Your best bet is to try and line up final rounds if you can. Once the offer is made, the clock starts.

I usually get pressured to accept the day of. I ask for at least 3 business days though.

Generally speaking, 24 to 48 hours is considered the standard timeframe. But if you're able to communicate a good reason, you can get that extended for a few more days. It's always a gamble, however, companies will rescind offers if it seems someone is dawdling or trying to pull off some strategic move that's seen as unserious.
