The timing is terrible. And junior jobs have always been extremely hard to land, even in a strong market. A lot of very good people are being laid off and haven't found jobs yet, and you're competing with them. I graduated from a really good college, into fairly weak market and had to take PHP jobs that didn't fully cover the bills. I'd suggest just sucking up your pride and taking a low quality job. Just work hard, build connections to others in the industry, and hop on to better work once it recovers. Or try another field; I graduated with a degree in telecommunications engineering, but the telcos were becoming stagnant. So we rode on the mobile/web dev boom. There's also the possibility that it may not recover, that FAANG in general peaked and are on a decline.
