Ask HN: How long did it take you to get your first dev job?

Been hunting for a month, probably 10-20 applications. 1 interview, haven't heard back yet.

Am I being too impatient? How long did it take you to get an offer for your first full-time position in dev? What should I expect?

Edit:

Thanks for the feedback so far!

- I'm applying for work in Vancouver, BC

- I have friends in tech; one works at a company that's aggressively hiring and he gave me a reference. Unfortunately not even an interview from them

- I have some internships/student work experience in dev, but they're lower tier (unheard of companies)

-Been going to meetups/hiring fairs. I've had good discussions with engineers there, hand them my resume, but probably gets lost in a pile/black hole of HR
