Not in this market. See if you can get experience with a remote freelance agency gig on the side.

Absolutely no. People in agency land (myself included) are trying to go in-house!

I heard from a recruiter friend once that agencies aren’t as keen on hiring from client side. Perception is that coming from In-house, folks don’t have quite the “hustle” needed. Take that as a positive, that client side is a better life!

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
