What are you waiting for? Are there other competing offers from other firms?
I would read, comprehend and submit the employment agreement at your earliest convenience. Make sure you tick all the boxes and if you have questions regarding the small print - I am sure WSO is more than happy to help.
If you know you're going to take it, just take it. If you are trying to interview other places or talk to people before accepting then do that, but don't worry about the implications of when you sign it (no one cares). They will probably start to chase you after a few days so I would honestly do it sooner rather than later if you don't have a reason for waiting.
Fwiw I've received three offer letters at different firms (sophomore SA /junior SA /FT) and signed them all the day I received them.
