Here's my two cents. I'd strongly suggest as a junior hacker NOT to go job hunting without a decent portfolio(can be GitHub or similar) and at least one decent language or tech specialization. I've been recently through a lot of interviews as a senior and I can tell you the bar is very high. Making one or two mistakes on whiteboard coding is the end of that interview. Solving hackerrank challenges live while explaining how to do it is also quite hard and a very different skill from day-to-day software development. Also recruiters are trigger-happy in online interviews which are currently still the norm due to the pandemic.

I'd suggest to rummage through your existing network for opportunities. Also QA and IT Support roles with a bit of operations work might suit you since they involve a bit of software development but should be lighter on development skill-set requirements.
