There aren't that many junior positions out there to be honest. On top of that there are way to many junior candidates. Where do you live? Are you getting to an interview stage?

Yes, I do get a couple of interviews. I live in New York City.

So that means your resume is good enough to get interviews but you're not passing those? Did you bootcamp go through whiteboarding exercises and prep you for what to expect for a dev interview?

NY is tough for a junior. You have a lot of bootcamps, universities, people who want to live there, etc. looking for the same jobs as you. Try opening your geographical preferences.
