MBB Job Offer (U.S. consultant level lateral) - expiration date / how much time do they give you to sign?

For U.S. consultant lateral (i.e. not MBA campus hire) job offers, how long does MBB give you to decide and sign the offer letter? My guess is 2 weeks but I am looking for real data or confident hearsay answers.

Thanks CK
