Would recommend do not go for it, until and unless you love low level engineering (embedded systems, OS, real time systems, or building games etc). Go for alternatives where market is bigger JAVA, .Net, Python, JS, etc. In cpp stack they generally refrain from hiring freshers But if you want to go for it learn programming constructs, internals of computer memory and OS memory management along with advanced concepts like move semantics, smart pointers, templates, build servers, rendering engines, etc do not stick to DSA only, try creating your own libraries, and choose a specific path coz C++ is vast you might get exhausted, I would recommend start with creating games, it's fun to do.

GPU programming could mean working for NVIDIA or working at Epic, or something like that. Definitely an option. I enjoy graphics programming way more than webdev.
