When does one become "job-ready" for their first gig"?

I self-taught python, html, css, and some javascript, then I learned c++, data structures and algorithms.

I was pursuing CS at university (stopped after data structures and algorithms).

At what point does one become "job ready" or able to land their first job?

I since transitioned to accounting, but I have been having a great deal of landing entry level roles there, and kind of want to see if I have enough skills to get a gig job without the intent of pursuing this is a lifelong career.

Thoughts?
