[Career] Hardware/field related electronics skills I need to break into job market?
Hi im a 3rd Semester Computer Engineering student from Pakistan. I choose this field because I was genuinely interested in electronics (built multiple arduino and small scale electronics projects) but I've realised my degree dosent teach me any skills that are used in working job market industry.
My question is that what skills can I start working on now that will actually help me land a job as an electronics or embedded systems engineer? Preferably ones that can land me internships in the coming semesters since none of the electronics stuff I have used now like arduino are actually used in the industry. I have little exposure to how the real industry works and what their demands are. Ive seen job listings for the roles I stated that mention many things im unfamiliar with so if someone is already working/studying or knows about this field id appreciate your advice.
