Placement dilemma, recession,job cuts , suggestions ??

Am currently in a circuital branch of a nit (graduating in 2025) preparing for tech jobs , not one of those brilliant minds , okayish on leetcode trying to cover major dsa topics and important questions. But everyday I keep hearing about layoffs, AI, recession, cost cutting etc Should I do something different, should I keep preparing for tech jobs or I should shift to core jobs or GATE, really confused !!

Job market should get stable by 2025, I'm still not bullish on Electronics manufacturing in India so I would recommend you to grind leetcode and learn backend development(Java, SQL, Basics of AWS). Having a good project and/or an internship will be an icing on cake and put you ahead of 90% of folks. Don't get distracted and maintain minimum GPA to sit for placements of company you target. All the best for your journey ahead

Doing an internship gives you an edge above 90%? Isn't that a big lead? I thought it'd be more like 30-40%
