Try to join a team! I was in the same shoe, moreover it gives you a lot of new experience and fun, beside some extra load and responsibility. I'm sure there are many unity teams looking for members, similarly to Unreal.

I joined a team just for future royalty, and it seems to be now a good decision, I have learnt a lot about multiplayer, version control, team work, and got useful hints from more experienced programmers. For a paid job I would need more time, and deeper C++ knowledge... maybe next time I can get a good AI related position as remote work.
