I kept track, I made a chart of 100 squares every time I applied for a job I'd put a sticker on a square. I filled the 100, I think I was somewhere around 130 before I got an offer. Thankfully it was an amazing job and 18 months later I'm still there.
I should caveat that a lot of those 130 jobs were not "serious" applications. I was applying for a lot of jobs through StackOverflow but I've come to view that as a waste of time compared to actually writing a cover letter and trying to network with real people. It's a huge time suck but those were the only jobs I ever heard back about let alone got.
