I'm currently diving into programming and I have a good grasp on the basics of object-oriented programming, such as classes, methods, and properties. I also understand how to use libraries and piece them together, but my real-world experience with these concepts is pretty limited. I haven't completed many full projects yet, although I can write and comprehend code, and I love tackling problems. However, I often feel like I don't know enough to apply for jobs.

Is it acceptable for me to apply for positions while still learning? How much did you guys know before your first tech interviews? I'd really appreciate hearing about what worked for you and how much knowledge you had before stepping into the job market.

As a beginner, it might be tough to land a job right away, so you'll need to show in the interview that you can add value. Be ready for questions on data structures, algorithms, and possibly some math-related problems. Companies tend to prefer candidates who can prove they're not true beginners and can hit the ground running.
