When someone offers you a job, what’s the etiquette on accepting/declining the offer? Am I obligated to make a decision right then and there, or can I tell them I’ll get back to them, let’s say, in like a day or so?

You should never need to make an on the spot decision.
I always say that I'll need a few days to think it over and discuss it with my family.
And if I'm juggling several offers, I say that I'll need a week or so.
Asking for a week or less has never been a problem during my career.

Usually, they will communicate to you the timeline of making your decision. If not, just ask them how long you have to decide.

You might want to add that very short timelines are a bad sign, suggesting that the candidate might find the offer much less desirable with research and calm thought.
