How many interviews did it take you to land a job?

I was laid off 3 weeks ago. I've appeared for 9 companies, 7 of which were small scale companies who asked either extremely tough questions or questions on outdated technologies that I don't have experience on(.Net Developer) I was able to crack L1 Technical Interviews with the other two companies (MNCs) and they haven't reverted back with the result of the second round yet, saying that they'd reach out by next week. I don't trust HRs so Idk if this is a lie or not. The market seems tough and cracking interviews is becoming difficult by the day probably because of the sheer volume of applicants and numerous choices that companies have. How many interviews should I expect to give more before I land a job? Moral support dedo.

TLDR: Have appeared for 9 interviews with no success in the past 20 days. How much more time is this going to take? Need some guidance.

Don't count. If you aren’t going to post on Linkedin "X numbers till the Yes", please don’t count. It fucks your brain and morale.

Give it your all, you will get that Yes sooner.

20 days is nothing tbh. People here have been searching for months and years. Consider yourself lucky you aren't being ghosted outright and that you are at least getting replies and call backs.
