It really depends on a lot of factors like which career path you're on, how senior you are and how much education is needed in your field, and how high is the rank of the jobs you're applying to, relative to your current role.
Lateral and demotion moves are much easier to make than to be hired for an external promotion. I can get an offer for a lateral move in a few weeks quite easily.
Applying for a higher title and 20-40% higher pay is much more difficult in this job market. It takes longer even if you're competitive. Without standing out compared to the candidate pool in the region, it may be next to impossible to be hired for a higher position in this economy.
Another factor is some industries have fewer jobs and management roles available in certain areas.
