I was offered some jobs and a few internship. But a few months ago I was considering going to get my masters, mba, or law school. My parents algo got sick during that time and i had to take care of them. So it wasn't really a priority for me at that time to get a job vs other urgent matters.

Good to know! Now I just got to keep grinding to be competitive against more experienced devs applying for the same position. Seems like its gonna be really difficult when theres gonna be at least a few hundreds of them applying for the same position.

Not sure what would motivate an employer to hire early career vs someone with 5 years of experience. Maybe paying new hires less than experienced ones?

I definitely regret not interviewing for jobs right away when I graduated a few months ago. At the moment I was thinking that in a few months the job market would still be hot.

A few months ago, recruiters were reaching out to me. I started applying last week and a single job posting would have more than 1k applicants which was not the case months ago.

On top of that, as a new grad, finding early career positions is difficult. Most of the opening are SR level.
