In my experience, a week is typical. A week is not “fair.” But that is the power discrepancy in hiring, especially in-house.
Employers will take weeks or even months to make an offer, often delaying so they can interview “just a few more” candidates. Some of this can be them waiting on more preferred candidates to say “no.” Somehow, playing candidates against each other is acceptable, but (as argued above) comparing offers from a couple different employers is “gaming” and “not really considering” the offer.
2-3 days reasonably for a lateral and 1 week max for something complicated with a cross- country move and some financial aspects that a tax advisor would have to evaluate. Anything else is just playing offers against each other and gaming and not really considering the offer and at that point the employer would be better served by going to their next candidate.

1-2 days
Wow okay this is a way shorter fuse than I thought
My in house offer I only got 2-3 days (which was after I asked for more time). When I lateraled between firms years ago I got 2 weeks. Maybe things have changed though.
Having just went through this. 2 days, 5 days max. You may have been the best candidate, but likely not the only candidate. The job market is better, but still not great by any means. Just some things to think about.
