At what stage should a novice front-end developer get a job?

Good day!
I set myself the goal of mastering the profession of a front-end developer and eventually getting to senior.
I studied independently for two months for 6-8 hours a day. At the moment, I have mastered HTML and CSS at the level of adaptive layout on flexbox, with media queries, transforms, gradients, simple CSS animations and jquery plugins such as carousel and side menu. For an example of what I made up, you can open the main page of Delicatessen.
I am learning native javascript in parallel and now at the level of writing a game - a gallows, without graphics.
As a result, until June, there is not enough good Js base.
So, I have a choice and two options:
1. Get a job (in Moscow), train your hand and learn Javascript in parallel.
2. Spend a couple more months learning Javascript and only then look for a job.
The main fear now is to turn the wrong way and get stuck in the office without any prospects for development.
How would you do it and why?

Straightaway.
Moreover, the office should have experienced developers in your field. And you weren't the only one stewed in your own juice.

"The main fear now is to turn the wrong way and get stuck in the office without any prospects for development."
What are the problems with quitting? Are you signing a contract with blood for life?
Write down the goals that you want to achieve in six months of work, put a piece of paper in a secluded place, get settled.
After six months, re-read and objectively think
1) have you achieved your goals
2) do you need to change jobs
3) And most importantly, did you adequately imagine at that moment what working as a developer is to write the right goals?

You need to immediately look for a job and go to interviews, even if there is still little experience and knowledge. At interviews, it will immediately become clear what needs to be tightened up. After going through 2-3 meetings and having studied the questions that were asked and the topics that were discussed, you will already know what is needed (provided that you will study all this on your own again).
And for the first time, you need to go to the office - remote work for more experienced specialists.

well @AnneSmith

on any
there are such offices that do not care, and you will have the opportunity to study at their expense

Didn't find what you were looking for?
