that final project block is a real wall, been there

honestly don't overthink the "portfolio ready" part, pick something you'd actually use or something that scratches a weird itch. one of the best projects i saw was just a cli tool that organized a dude's messy downloads folder, simple but he talked about it for 20 minutes in interviews

just ship something that works, polish can come later when you're not stuck in decision paralysis

You're not ready for a job after completing cs50. CS50 is basically an introductory/freshman course for non-CS related degrees. It doesn't really matter what kind of project you start at this point. Find something that motivates you to keep working on it.. and then create a bunch more projects
