Realistically, how long will it take someone to find a job if they start today, and apply to 100 jobs a week? I’m so burnt out and demotivated at work, I can’t wait to leave.

A month or so assuming your skills are in demand

Hence the in demand part - my engineer classmates and coworkers have been finding new jobs in as little as 3 weeks!

I’d probably say 1-3 months depending on how polished your resume and interview skills are. I got laid off in late oct and had 2 offers by late nov that were pretty low in comp, then I got 2 more offers in early December, one of which I accepted and just started (2 YOE in compensation consulting).

Quality over quantity. One good connection at a company hiring for your skill set is worth a hundred resumes blasted out with no connections.
