Is sending out 40 applications in a month overkill? I'm doubting my strategy now - it feels like there's no way I can properly follow up with all these companies. What do most people aim for?

10/week is nowhere close to overkill. Out of those 40, you'd be incredibly lucky to get 5 interviews. You should have no problem keeping tabs on things.

What do you mean, "follow up with all these companies"? I think you're overestimating how many responses you'll get from 40 applications 😂

That's a perfectly reasonable number of applications to be submitting. There are people who boast of applying for hundreds of jobs, but that kind of "spam applying" seems like it couldn't work. Probably no need to worry about following up with companies, you'll either hear from them or not. In most cases, if they don't invite you for an interview they simply don't want to hear from you.
