Looking for help from already employed devs without CS degree

Hey, let me introduce myself real quick. I am turning 25 in August and wanted to change something in my life, so I started learning to code last year with a Udemy course in my free time while still working full-time. So, I have roughly one year of experience and managed to learn some languages and build three full-stack apps, including my portfolio.

Current Tech Stack: Postgres, React, Express, Node.js
Newest Framework I learned: TypeScript, Next.js

My question is for those who also wanted to change something and started coding while working full-time: what is a good tactic to actually land a job? Is it better to learn all the frameworks used in your location (like in my case, Vienna, where they use React, Angular, Vue, PHP, Python, Java, .NET, Spring Boot, and some companies want web devs who know C# and C ) and build projects around those languages, or is it better to just stick to the PERN stack and just hustle more projects until maybe someday I get hired?

I want to make it clear that I know with one year of self-taught experience, I won't land a job in the next few months. I just want to do the right things and get some tips from people who have already been hired without a CS degree. I also want to note that I created a Fiverr profile to maybe get some references other than myself, but that's also just frustrating because the only requests you get are from scammy Telegram users.

Thank you if you took the time to read all this, and I would be happy if you leave an answer to my questions or have any tips for me.

Have a great day :)
