It felt like forever before I got my first dev job, but it was probably only eighteen months of applying for jobs after graduating.

I can't remember how many applications I sent out. The main problem was I was trying to stay in the city I went to university in, which at the time didn't have a lot of programming work. In the end I moved away, to get my first job.

I would guess I sent out a dozen or so applications.
