I wouldn’t get discouraged just yet. December is a terrible time for job hunting and 2 months is not a long time for a job search at all.

Yeah, this shit takes time, don't stress about it. The going wisdom is that it takes a year to find the right thing, which I think is true. In my case a couple years ago, it did (granted, I did turn down an offer during that time for something that wasn't the right fit; if I was desperate I could have taken that)
It generally takes 6 months to do a job search unless you’re responding to a recruiter for jumping from one big law to another in your specific practice area. Also, our job search methodology is very specific- to provide context - mba friends easily take 1 year doing networking chats to find a company; multiple interviews; offer to a position that may not have existed 10 mo before...
