Where can I start ?

As the title suggests , a complete beginner with a basic understanding of tech and how it works at a consumer level .

I have got 1 and half to 2 years time to get job ready during my masters .. so any roadmaps or advice or suggestions would be helpful from industry people ? 🙏

And also include your experiences and how you secured your job or if this process or decision was worth it !

How does this stand against layoffs and downsizing and ai incorporation ?

Thanks !
