My current FAANG job I applied in March of 2022 and was sent an offer in October of 2022. Senior software engineer, and there was a hiring freeze in the middle of that.

I was also interviewing other places and it generally took at least two months to do a full interview loop before I got to the offer stage or rejected (I didn't fail any screens).

These were all FAANG and adjacent companies though, this last round of job hoping I decided to try huge companies only.

Startups usually move much quicker if they have headcount.
