You should do what you can to show you’re excited about the offer over the phone but don’t accept right then and there. They should follow that up with the formal offer letter and then you should be prepared to respond within a day or two. Think about your needs and your wants now but you’ll those in writing either way.
If it’s a firm with a very structured compensation structure, there might not be much wiggle room in terms of salary so focus on the total package.
Like Att 1 said, I do my best to show my enthusiasm about the offer and let them know that I will think it over. I've received a week to respond for in-house roles and two weeks from firms.
For in-house roles, I schedule a time to speak with the HR contact and ask if there is any flexibility regarding salary, bonuses, etc. This can also be done via email.
For firm roles, outside of asking to move up a class year, the salary is set. However, I've been able to successfully negotiate signing bonuses.
