Hello everyone, I'm in my last year at college and I've been self-studying web development for maybe a year. I learned Html, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript, and jQuery basics, then I started to learn ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core 3 bc this is what I really care about (backend development). I watched many tutorials and I built some small projects on my own but I know this is not just it to get a good job.. so I'm stuck now.. what should I do in the upcoming months till I graduate? I don't know how to work with a team or to work on a separate part of a big real project, deployment, and testing, and so on.. when to tell I'm ready to do interviews and get a good job?

Sounds like you are working really hard at improving your skills. Keep at it. I think something you could look at which you haven't mentioned is learning how to use source control in a team setting. There are many things which using a source control system unlocks. When you work in a team you'll be working on a feature that is part of a bigger project, before your code is inserted into the shared code base someone will usually review it and approve the request to merge your feature into the main code base. It also unlocks concepts such as CI/CD and maybe better ways of work (using a task/bug/test tracking tool) - all none-code skills which are just as important as being a good coder.

I would recommend to watch something about architecture and design patterns on youtube to get a feeling for it. Apart from that you mentioned "how to work in a big real project", I would recommend searching up "scrum"(project management). Also looking into CI/CD continuous integration and deployment will help you as well. But most important is that you stay up to date, since everthing changes all the time. Which also means to not worry to much if you will miss something, because you can't know everything in that field with the current speed going :).
