How early is too early to start applying? (Switching careers into SWE) /u/a_bit_of_byte CSCQ protests reddit

I am working in an entirely different industry, and am under contract to remain in my current role until early 2026. I am looking to jump ship into software engineering, and want to ask for some opinions on when I should start applying in earnest.

I feel like now is too early, since I doubt anyone would want to hire to me over a year from today. But what do you think the sweet spot would be? Obviously, I would like to minimize the time I am unemployed, but I have the savings to cover more than a few months if necessary.
