Those people are usually NY/Cali vying for very highpaying, very competitive positions.

I always assumed they're applying for anything and everything, even the temporary contract positions, as well as duplicates and reposts within the same company.

Look at mine, in case that helps

https://reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/x0mg3s/oc_applications_for_my_first_ever_real_job_as/

18 applications, 9 interviews (4 of which I declined), got 3 offers.

3 weeks from application to signed contract.

I think it should be exact the opposite. As it looks like a really time consuming operation, you should start ASAP. In a situation when you find a job after 4 applications, the answer may be like "nah, tomorrow there will be something for me as well".

Yep, but I know this may be demotivating.
