I am also given the week after Xmas off. if my toddlers are sick I can work at home with them. Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional. Seems tough.

Yes, most companies give you 24 - 48 hours (2 business days) to accept or the offer expires. Companies know people usually have multiple offers and try to use one offer to get another company to match or beat their offer.
That sounds too long to me. I always aim to respond the next business day. It shouldn't take you more than a day to do your research and weigh pros and cons.
Depends a lot on the company. 2-5 days might be alright, but only if they didn’t give a deadline for you to respond by. I would lean on the side of sooner rather than later.
I've always heard that 24 to 48 hours would be the normal time to get back to them. If you needed to take more than that I suppose you could ask if it's possible. But that might be sending a bad signal.
I try to wait no more than a day. I think it depends on the person though because I have a friend who always considers it for two days. I would say sooner rather than later though.
