Another option is to contribute to open source projects. Just make sure it's visible/easy to catch by looking at your github profile (or if you have a website even easier).
Options vary from dashboards for "backend" tools, even just improving the ux, visualizations (projects like airbnb/caravel), or focusing on little details such as autocomplete or similar features.
You may loose the ability to choose your preferred stack, but viceversa you can show that you're adaptable.
- DeBraid 10y ago> even just improving the ux This worked for me. Learned a ton doing an overhaul of UI/UX for niche website [advanced hockey stats] that I used all the time -> https://github.com/debraid/puck https://github.com/debraid/puck The key is to find something that motivates you and keep building/expanding on it. For example, find a popular open source project to modify/contribute to, but pick something unique to your interests. By focusing on a particular non-technical subject matter you're more likely to attract attention from places willing to hire a junior dev based on culture fit. Lastly, find a rapidly growing firm with >10 technical employees. Places that are growing quickly (but past the seed/founding stage) might be more open to hiring junior talent.
