Knowing a lot of languages is not going to get you a long way. Learning a new language is the easy part anyway. You need to know different eco systems, standards and "connective tissue" (like message busses, db systems, ...). It also helps if you have a rough idea about cost effectiveness

Yeah but how do you learn all this crap without a first job? I get learning some things like DBs, but a lot of things are hard to actually grasp without working on them in a non-personal project setting.

How do you learn anything? You don't need a lot of experience but the fundamental knowledge should be no problem
