How much time do HFs give to accept / reject an offer?

Trying to guesstimate how long do HFs give to accept or reject an offer?

Waiting to hear back from #1 choice for 3 weeks now but seems like #2 choice will be putting up an offer soon.

 

Depends on the size of the firm. If a larger firm they may just be interviewing a bit more to make sure they get the “best” X people (since they have larger “classes” and have some flexibility on recruiting). If a smaller firm then they probably have an offer out. Again, this is just my experience, so maybe different with the place you are dealing with.
