How soon do you need to sign a return offer letter?

Incoming SA for IB, but am still looking to recruit for FT at other places for IB/PE positions. From those that have experience getting a return offer letter to sign after doing your junior IB SA, how much time were you guys given to sign it? Asking because some of the FT recruiting I'm looking to do will have superdays late in the summer and am worried I won't have enough time to even consider doing a superday if the deadline to sign is before then.

I know there are a lot of variables and hypotheticals, but would just appreciate a general idea of when deadlines might be - most SA programs will probably end August 12 this year.
