Perhaps you're facing a requirement of at least 1 year of professional experience (i.e. working in a company) over just coding experience. I'm on the same boat...

What I am doing is

  • applying / taking a job in a semi-academic project.
  • I cold emailed to a city which isn't full of devs. Less competition helps.
  • Also, don't be afraid to be more than just junior.
