Market is hot, not so much for Juniors. Big part is that with everyone working from home mentoring junior developer is a massive pain. For every 2 you hire you lose probably 80% of productivity of a senior dev for at least 3-4 month. For concrete advice, drill those idiotic interview questions. People use them because who knows.. being able to solve everything is impressive. For take homes do a good job on the cleanliness aspect, write tests.. Pick one language and get decent at it. Be it python, js or C++. Be able to solve basic stuff on the HackerRank etc using that language.
