I thought about it but I feel like applying after ~3 months at my first job in the industry would look horrible and I'd be wasting my time sending applications. I also applied to a few startups prior to this job and it seems most want more Sr. developers.

not at all. it’s called “fit”.

if you hadn’t taken this first job, you wouldn’t know you’re a bad fit for large organizations, slow pace, and maintenance heavy work. now you know.

apply to interesting posts from hn who’s hiring every month. you’ll eventually find one that fits.
