They should give you a date for response. In my own experience, 3-5 days.

2 days = IC roles
2-4 weeks = Management/Exec roles
Unlimited = c-suite roles. Some companies hold out for a whole year.

I always give 3 days. My new employer only gives until the next morning.

Yes, I also think that they should be given 5 to 3 days time.

Typical is 3 days but in my experience if you need a bit more (an extra day or 2) you can politely ask and explain and most work with you.

A few days

3 days or so is typical... but you can ask for more. Not every company requires a timeframe for response, though

Three business days or the offer will be rescinded.

I was on PTO last week and had some follow up interviews for a role I was interested in.

Hi guys! I had an interview last Saturday with the CEO for an EA role (that was the 3rd interview). The company rushed the process for me because they knew I had another offer. The first 2 interviews went extremely well that’s why they rushed & asked the ceo to interview me on a Sat. morning. Huge common point: The CEO and I are both French. The interview went kinda weird… it was less than 15min. Looked distracted/ not prepared. When I asked him questions he barely elaborated. Comments⬇️

Hello everyone! I am interviewing at another company for a HR Generalist Contract position at Adobe and when they asked me what my pay expectations are, I asked them what their pay range and expectations were for this role. She let me know she was unable to tell me, yet still wanted me to give an answer. Do you believe that’s fair? How should I bring up pay expectations in my next round of interviews to ensure I am aware of what this position is offering so I don’t lowball or overshoot myself?
