I'm sorry to hear the difficulty you have come across, hopefully i can provide some insight. I have been working with a non-profit out in Seattle for the last year trying to help people land roles in tech mostly from non-traditional backgrounds.

What we are seeing right across is the entry level job market is the worst that it has even been right now. Bootcamps and colleges have flooded the job entry level job market as hiring pretty much froze for 18 months. There are a surplus of entry level talent, not enough jobs and companies tend to be more hesitant bring on associate/interns/junior engineers while still unsure of the RTO plans. Onboarding someone new to the job is hard enough remotely, never mind training a brand new engineer up to be productive.
I suspect the talent wars will eventually force companies to start hiring and training up talent, unfortunately we see that only with larger companies like Amazon, Microsoft etc You can search "Microsoft Leap" and check it out. I would also encourage you to try more in-demand skills than front-end web development such as AWS certificates, Azure Certificates , cloud or cycbersecurity work as their tends to be less competition for the roles. Good luck!
