How many hours a day are y'all spending on applications? I treat my job search like a full-time job, but I still feel like I’m behind. Are others feeling this same level of pressure or do I need to change my strategy?

Nothing is moving at all for me in interviews..

Nothing moving in interviews after all that effort is really telling. That's usually a positioning issue not a qualifications issue. What roles are you going for?

5-6 hrs only - I feel behind .. a lot of pressure

?????
Is sounds like there is unlimited amount of open position. seriously? how is it possible? you are ready to relocate anywhere? Because I do not understand how else there would be so many open positions to keep applying for 6 hours every day.
I cannot tell that for me there is any days with more than 1 new opportunity.

Have to deliver current projects too

More hours won't fix a positioning problem. The strategy needs a reset not more applications. What kind of roles are you targeting?

I only have 2 months of unemployment left. The pressure is rough.

This is a very strange question.

I spend as much time on my applications as necessary. It’s not like, “Last week I spent two hours a day, next week I’ll improve and spend four.”

There have to be actual openings for me to apply to. If I don’t see any new opportunities today, then there’s nothing to apply for.

Any Knowledge Attorneys or Professional Support Attorneys out there? Or know any? Wondering if it would be a good life choice. (I like the sound of it from the little I’ve found.)
