Hello guys,
I am sitting on an offer from from a very reputable fund but for specific reasons I'd still like to see what's out there in the market. How do you shop an offer without coming off as treacherous (for lack of better word)?

[To person you've hopefully been in dialogue with] Hi - as an update, I've received an offer from Firm. While this is a great firm and I think it would be a good landing spot for me, I'm still passionate about joining [your firm]. Can you provide clarity on any opportunity to work with you at [your firm]?
FWIW, most PE firms expect a response within 24-72 hours. It's usually pretty hard to squeeze in full interviews with another opportunity in that window. If you don't respond within ~24 hours, expect a heavy push from the recruiters and members of the firm to "close you" or start sniffing out your tactics.
