FWIW, I've had a few friends receive entry level offers (as software engineers) recently and they all had no deadline to accept

Entry level offers made to students are really an entirely different ballgame. They're usually made months in advance of the expected start date, often as far out as 8-10 months.

Entry level engineers are generally easily replaceable.
