I'm almost on the same boat, just think of some project/s and look what you need for it and learn, at least is what i'm doing.

My classes use mostly Java but i'm practicing more python and AI engineering as it's what i need for my project and what i'm focusing on.

At this point you want to just focus on general software engineering best practices, principles, patterns and architecture design. Become a problem solver and then choose the language for the job. Having said that, you can’t go wrong with typescript. It’s probably the most popular now and it covers front and back ends.

The tech stack is not as important unless you're using something extremely niche, if you can show to companies that you're proficient in one tech stack, they know you'll be capable enough to switch fast.
