None.
For junior developers, it’s a risk. It’s more about applying as frequently as possible and doing your best to prepare for the interview. The whole point with junior developers is hiring them for their potential, not their past experience. Your goal is to prove your potential.
Getting more experience can be costly because it turns your potential into experience that may not be relevant to anything the top company is looking for. Companies will eventually hire you based on who you are rather than your potential.
