I don't think 6 months is a typical developer job search, and that has nothing to do with being picky. Almost everyone worth working for is hiring constantly.

I don't think 6 months is a typical developer job search, and that has nothing to do with being picky.
Almost everyone worth working for is hiring constantly. Hence it's relatively straightforward to run a bunch of interview processes in parallel while still being quite picky about the offer you accept. In most cases, it's highly unlikely that a better option will materialize with additional time (in 99% of cases, it would have existed when you started).

- fweespeech 9y agoMaybe I'm just a bad developer but it does take me 6 months to find any kind of pay/benefits bump. And no, it isn't easy to do it in parallel because I'm almost always employed so my bandwidth is about one interview a month.
