If so, how can a junior dev level up while making money?

  Honestly, that’s the age old challenge - how to break the can’t get a job <-> don’t have experience cycle. I’ve never been a “junior developer”. By the time I graduated from college back in antiquity in 1996, I had already been a hobbyist for a decade and my first job was designing and developing a relatively complicated data entry system in C. So my first and second jobs were already mid level developer type work. That’s not bragging. It hurt me in the long run. I stayed at my second job too long and became an “expert beginner” and had to start over and learn best practices from others 12 years later. But now, isn’t the general advice “grind leetcode and work for a FAANG” (tm) r/cscareerquestions.
