You are yet to get your first job.
Your first and immediate goal should be doing projects.
Pick a popular website and clone it with Django/Flask. Do it for 2/3 websites.
Write and maintain a blog post where you share your journey and write tutorials. Your portfolio website is itself a project. Make it carefully, make it cool and functional.
Open Source contributions and making YT videos are suggested, but skip them if you have too much pressure.
Then solve programming problems. A lot of them, regularly.
Learn about basics of DS and Algo.
Then start applying. Apply in scores. Or hundreds.
