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.

Porro dicta quia unde quis. Nam ex consequuntur fugit sed omnis dignissimos. Nemo hic vitae nihil nam beatae.
