Should fresh graduates stick to "JUNIOR" data science roles only? Or apply out to the more fledged "Data Scientist" roles too

About to graduate Nov 2022. From Australia. Work Experience is king here.

Do you think it's worthwhile to apply for the more medium "Data Scientist/Analyst" roles when I have 0 job experience in the domain? Or stick to the junior roles only.

I wouldn't want to waste my time applying for positions where they won't even consider me because of my experience, but is that the case?

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
