I applied to and I interviewed at four companies, received two offers. My job hunt lasted about 3ish months. I went back into industry since the pay was much, much better and I knew the travel was minimal.

I would update your resume if you haven't already. Honestly, both offers were in the Financial sector and I'm pretty sure the only reason I was even offered a job was because of having ACN on my resume. I also opened myself up to recruiters on linkedin and indeed.

I have switched jobs twice and both times it took me 5 months of hardcore networking and applying

C1 - indeed.com. my search was not limited to a city. It was across the Continental USA

At senior consultant level: 3 months. 3/3 job offers.

At senior manager level: 6 months. Lots of callbacks and interviews but only pursued two opportunities aggressively as being ‘best fit’ now that I am more specialised. Got 1/2 offers and took it, though I had others in the pipeline, as it was with my preferred employer.

After 6 yrs at Bain:

- 6 months deciding what I wanted to do (while still working at Bain, but mentally checked-out)
- Submitted 5 applications
- Interviews with 4
- Offers from 3
- Accepted 1 offer

Total time from submitting the first application to finally accepting an offer was about 3 months

I was at Bain as a generalist strategy consultant. Bain was my first job, so no prior tech experience, and although I had a little bit of tech exposure while at Bain, it was hardly my focus.
