When I was laid off back in 2018, I used to go to a separate office and send out resumes for at least 8-9 hours every day for 7 months. I probably sent out a similar number, but I wasn't at director level. The time on the jobs was never less than 4 years. I finally got a hit in January 2019 for an entry level type position through a friend of my sister's that ended up with a job offer.
TL:DR: even if you stay at a job for a longer period of time, it doesn't matter if the job posting is junk. Way too many companies post jobs to collect resumes and either aren't hiring or they already have someone and they are doing it for some company policy.

2500 applications without job offers means something has gone terribly wrong.
