I think it really depends a lot on the companies you interact with. If you're unlucky and hit a lot of companies with slow or unresponsive interview processes I can easily see 6 to 8 weeks of back and fourth. The last time I went job hunting, I applied to about 12 places over the course of about 4 weeks. Of those 12: 4 offers, 3 rejections, 5 ghosts (basically anyone who doesn't get back to me within a week of an on-site). I've been working in software for 8 years in SF and I'm told those numbers are pretty good, but I think there's a lot of variability in hit/miss rates for people depending on luck, professional network quality, and how people market themselves.
