How hard was it when you got your current job without a public portfolio? It's nice to have, not essential, and nobody you should take seriously thinks the lack of one is an automatic disqualification. Trying to relocate as a junior is going to be what makes this difficult, but even so that doesn't mean it's impossible. England's a bit of an odd choice at the moment considering the impending Brexit, but I assume you've thought that part out.

Like most people with questions that amount to "am I ready to start applying for jobs?", actually doing it is likely to be a much better use of your time than worrying. Submit a few applications, do some interviewing, get a few rejections under your belt and ask for feedback so you know what to focus on. Be prepared for it to take some time and effort and many attempts.

Thank you for answering me.
You right, worrying can take too much time !
It seems indeed difficult to find a job when your still are a junior developer and when your skills are limited.
Nevertheless, I am reassured by your answer =)
Yes I have thought about the Brexit but always wanted to live in England, so, I'll try the Brexit ^
