Summary
Job searches often take longer than expected, especially in a weak market. The gap between expectation and reality causes burnout and lost momentum.
Plan for up to about six months (or longer) from first applications to landing the role.
If you’re employed and reasonably happy, patience is an advantage, apply steadily without panic.
If you’re out of work and available immediately, that can make you more attractive because many teams need someone soon.
Treat rejection as data. If you don’t get interview feedback, push for it and fold the learnings into your next applications.
