Startups trying to hire talented & motivated people have to interview around 10 candidates for every hire. By conservation, the average job seeker has to go to 10 interviews, and some will need to do a lot more than 10. So don't assume there's something wrong with you unless you've racked up >50 rejections.

Is (10 * a few days) to change jobs is an unreasonable burden? I subscribe to the rule of thumb that you should spend 10% of your time making the other 90% better. That would suggest spending 25 days / year on career advancement or looking for better jobs.
