Definitely try to build a smaller number of bigger apps than a ton of small projects. Those are good for learning simple concepts (e.g. IndexedDB), but they don't show that you can build an enterprise level app. Also, larger projects will come with problems you'll have to figure out (e.g. pepper your code with a bunch of hard-coded API paths, and then you'll learn to stick them all in one time or folder and use imports, or to write logic in Vuex getters rather than components, etc.). You'll learn best practices (as long as you read, and think).

That said, it always depends. A ton of beginner projects with clean code can still open some doors to you... Just to more entry-level / junior jobs.
