Have you tried applying on AngelList? I'm just asking because I just got an offer yesterday (yay!) for a full stack position even though I had no prior experience in either back or front end.

I recommend you try to apply to start ups because usually you'll have an easier time if you have the smarts but not the skills. Also I don't think you mentioned whether you were getting interviews or not, but if you are then I really recommend improving on the areas that you don't do well on.

Finally, while I also feel like I don't get much from LinkedIn, I also noticed that when I apply to a company they often check my LinkedIn profile, so I would suggest you put any work you need into it.

And of course.. do some cool projects that you can show other people! I remember reading a post on here from a week or two ago about how there are no good web fuzzing tools? To be honest I'm not really in the know about security but try and see if there's something that would be useful to make, simplifying as necessary so that you can start it on your own.
