But if this is a sincere question – it sounds like you’re over thinking it. There is no hard and fast rule but it should be brief. Start shaking people’s hands more often, you’ll get a feel for it, you’ll start to notice when a hand shake is and isn’t appropriate. An awkward handshake is part of life as well and you’ll get better by just doing it and you won’t ruin a meeting by accidentally adding an extra pump

No more than 30-40 shakes.
