A layout designer with no experience in the office, what to expect?

Hello!
For the next 7 months I will be free from studies and I would like to get a job (this will be the first experience, I am 18). Based on "skills" and unwillingness to go to a universal job (security guard, loader, salesman, etc.), I settled on the vacancy of an html layout designer.
I've been typing for over 3 years now. From the mastered tools: html/css, js/jq. I know how to adapt adaptively and cross-browser.
Tell me please, is it realistic to get a job with such characteristics? On xx and other sites there are vacancies and for 50k + salary, but something tells me that it is unlikely that I will shine with my work experience not on freelance.
Where is it better to go, to a web studio or to some kind of company? With the first option, it is clear what kind of work will be - for the clients of this web studio, but it is not entirely clear with the second option. For example, they will tell you to fix an element on a corporate site - ok, no problem, but it is unlikely that you need to correct, add or delete something every day? I do not quite understand, please explain (I know, stupid question).
I also ask you to tell what kind of tasks they will give (what they give in general cases)
And what kind of salary can you count on?
Thank you all for your replies and sorry for the stupid questions.

Everything depends on the company. For example, I developed in C # for 2 years, all two years I worked exclusively on the desktop, worked as a freelancer and attached beautiful projects to my resume. Not so long ago I was invited for an interview, I showed excellent knowledge of C #, but practically 0 Web (that is, I knew approximately how it works, how to typeset, what I was responsible for, but I had no experience as such), but they took me, let's say "growth" on ASP Net. Already after 3 weeks I was confidently writing the API, in addition, I was already editing existing views and writing JS.
So if you try and show what you described you know and want to go further, you can also be taken "Growing" and help you grow. The salary, of course, will be less than that of those who do the same thing as you, but are already working there because they are independent, and you will most likely be helped initially. And after half a year or a year, you can raise your salary :)

Every day. If a company has a "website" (websites, not client sites, but its own ... well, for example, a store there or
an internal website with a vacation schedule, etc. etc.) and they have a vacancy, then edits / improvements are needed constantly and regularly.
For example, we introduced a system of passes, it became necessary to add a page with the time of arrival / departure of an employee to the site. Then they also wanted to show it beautifully / conveniently / redraw it. And so in a circle. New leadership desire - new challenges. Plus the constant refinement / editing of the old.
on the topic: if the office is good (specialists are strong, I don’t know how you will determine *, for starters, at least by feeling) - then I’m for the office.
* prepare your questions to the management, ask to talk with specialists, see what they can do, how they communicate, whether they are charged to share their experience...
