How long will I have to learn C/C++ until I can get a job/gig on it?

[futureashtray]

I started learning C/C++ a few days ago

I got a few books and I’m learning it completely by myself, I don’t trust any courses or anything

I’m confident I can learn it quickly. I learn everything quickly.

I swear if I had adderall I would be a god… anyway

To any experienced cppcels when do you think I’ll be ready to get a job/gig and get paid?

idk in your country but if you want a job you will most likely "need" a degree or certificate. If you don't have and won't get one, you'll need a portfolio of projects.
These can take time to build, especially if you want to get higher end jobs that C/C++ can nail you.
If you want to get a job faster, go into web or mobile developpement, it's easier and it's more required by the market, company are more enclined to employ a new web developper thatn a new C/C++ developper

why the low level language? do u want to work in defense / automotive / embedded systems ? video games ?

what country are u in?

u got a degree?

think from the eyes of a recruiter, why would they invite u to an interview over the guy with a degree, multiple projects, and internships under his belt?
