I know how well it sucks. Ensure your finances first, and take a while 2-3 days to get over it.
Then take a week to brush up on your interview prep and technical skills, update your portfolio and resume.
After a week, you should be good to apply. Apply to a lot of companies, get any offer first. If people ask notice period, tell you've a month. Once you get one offer, then you can go for ones with better pay.
I've personally applied to more than 50 companies and got heard back from around 10, so be prepared. As with everything else, this too shall pass.

sure, this weekend will update my resume, linkedin and portfolio and next week will do prep for the interviews and paralally apply to companies.
I think there are many openings coming up for 1+ and 2+ years experience. Apply for SDE-2 openings also. Also try to directly get in touch with managers / HR's so your profile will have higher chances of getting shortlisted. All the best.

Yep, once I apply somewhere will surely try to get in touch with HR, and the manager and also connect with tech employees who are working there to get the referral, I hope this will work out.
