Your point doesn't stand. The time it takes to get an equivalent job depends on what industry you're talking about and what level of position.
My point is not about time it takes, but about the fact that you can find the job and quit. In this order.
Not agreeing with MxM's comment, but you should be interviewing and working your network at all times.
Essentially your current job should be trying to retain you. (Though they aren't aware this is actively happening)
If another opportunity arises (better earning, better learning), take it. The best time to look for a new job is while you have a job, and no employer will be concerned when you tell them you are interested in their position if you simply say your current role isn't meeting your career needs.
This approach will reduce the interviewing cycle time, ideally to zero, but obviously layoffs happen that can catch you out.
Then your point is totally right, might take months
