Hi, the answer depends on WHO thinks you are ready.
If you want to have that "I'm ready" feeling... bad news is you will probably never have that. At least that was the case with me and many others I know. There is always things you want to (and in this field, should) know more of.
With that said, it's likely more important if the world thinks you are ready. In my opinion, you get there when you get your first offer to join a company as a dev. So I would suggest you better go to interviews as early as you can. Maybe a good point to start is when you start asking yourself the question you posted. If you don't get the job, at least you get feedback and pretty clear information about what skills you should improve. And if you get one... Heck, that's a great feeling, it says the job market validated your efforts and thinks you are ready.
2 extra things I would like to add: 1) Just don't take ANY job. If you have a gut feeling that a job won't do you any good, you can pass on it, don't ruin this fantastic journey. 2) Also, never forget that getting a job is just a start. It means you are ready to begin this career, but this one is about constant learning. I never met anyone in software, no matter how experienced, who felt they knew enough.
