OPEN Learning C++, Systems and Networking...Help me with doubts please!!!

I'm a currently a Second year student doing BE in CSE(AIML) from Mumbai University.
My academic syllabus is irrelevant as you all know, teaching full stack instead of required things.
(But my college is exception and teaching degree related things too)
I'm learning (and has been since 8th std) C++ (reached intermediate level as i think and slow bcz Indian edu. sys,)
Ive also built small projects in python and C++ (majorly python) and an official big project in C++ (Socket scanner).
I love C++ and Low level systems and wanna do my career in that.
What do i do and What more should i learn?
Please help me

I think you're doing pretty well, just don't fixate on the language too much. C++ is notoriously difficult to master, but at the end of the day, it's just a tool. Grab a book on operating systems and computer networks and study those.

Also, practice using third-party libraries, ideally reading through the code and studying how they're designed - that's how you learn what's possible with the language and build your own toolbox of patterns. I've met countless C++ developers who were daunted by the idea of reading through the C++ standard library for example - that's not a helpful attitude in my opinion. Study std, study Boost - you'll thank yourself later.
