I got given a job yesterday in Web Development after 10/11 months of learning code without any degree/previous experience.
You have a degree and already experience using a lot of the key languages you need.
Have you got a portfolio of work? It's crucial that you have something to show for your skills.
I suppose it depends what's important it to you. If it's salary then you might have to wait a bit longer but if you just want to move in to the tech industry then I'd start applying now because as long as you're passionate people will afford you the time to get up to date.
