Get hired as who? If you aim for internship, you need none of that, if you aim to be a senior dev, then ofc you need more than a few hobby projects behind your back.
Imho becoming an intern and learning first hand some specifics of the craft is easier route than learning it on your own and then trying to apply to a higher position.
