Apply to a lot of them, there is a statistical element to this. Apply to smaller, non-tech companies where competition is not as high. Make your resume as good as possible while being honest.

This may be overly personal, but I would consider contract/temp work, too, to build up your professional experience. That would also reduce the risk of losing your existing full-time job and ending up in a financial hardship.

Also, apply to non-developer roles. There is a bit of complexity to working in a software company, more than just writing code. Consider a support or other development adjacent field that is still technical.
