Been there arguably from a worse position ( only an associates degree and only retail experience being an international student with a deadline to find a job to remain in the country) and my best advice would be to just apply and apply. Whether you like the jobs tech stack or not just apply. Once you get that first position everything will be a lot smoother. Remember, you don’t need to know everything. Soft skills are important too.

Thanks, like I said I stopped at a certain point but maybe it’s time to start doing tens of applications daily. My soft skills could use some work but I am fortunate to have someone who can help me with that. This submission was mostly the product of the fact that my mentor was hired immediately out of school and I know they can’t really understand the path I’ve ended up on, really appreciate your comment because your right.
