About
The first real work: a summer or semester in a company, paid or not, learning how a team ships something. It is the most common starting node in the graph, and the most frequent next step is software engineering, with C++, Java and general office tools the skills that show up before it. Bengaluru is the most common location. What matters is finishing one thing you can describe in an interview, and leaving with a reference.
