For me, it was, apparently. I interviewed for quite a variety of positions without a bite. Did pass a reputedly difficult in-person series at a Big 5 employer, and apparently an executive nixed the hire recommendation for this reason. Obviously, N=1 here. Best advice is to assume the hunt will take a lot longer than you expect.
