I’m on the east coast and over 20 years and 6 job changes (first one was based on an internship). I’ve had multiple offers within three weeks maximum after I started looking. The shortest was 4 days.

None have required any serious algorithm/LeetCode type of interview.

Your experience is such an extreme outlier as to necessitate ignoring it when considering how general job searches go.

If you're not good at modern interviews then it can take some time to find a company that either you get lucky on or that uses a different process.

I usually prolong it for travel, but I've always had offers by 60 days in. Anecdote.
