Planning on interviewing in April/May, when should I flip my LinkedIn status and start talking to recruiters?

I'm prepping for SDE2 interviews. This will be my first job switch so not really sure how the timelines typically work. When should I change my LinkedIn status to open and start taking calls with recruiters? The only one I've talked to is G (they emailed me last year when it wasn't a good time for me but kept in touch) who I told I'd interview in April/May. - 189TC @ 2800 stock price - currently L5/SDE2 - 2 YOE

Now. And start doing applications at companies you care about.

I’m in the same boat as OP, does it really take that long to schedule interviews? I was planning on starting like next month to interview in April

They can schedule stuff way out if needed. Easier to get in early.
