  I can give you very little advice. My first job out of college was in embedded systems, and I've spent most of my career there. I never had to figure out how to switch into it. I'm sure there must be some leet-code-ish thing that gives embedded puzzles, about writing to hardware registers, and bit flipping, and race conditions between threads. But I don't know where it is, so I can't point you to anything. If you want to get better at C++, you might start with Stroustrup's Tour. For C, I don't know what to say. You might also consider Rust, though I don't know if it has much traction in embedded yet.

Maybe I'm wrong but I have a feeling most for fields outside of web dev type stuff (note when I say web dev I dodon't mean exclusively frontend, but general application programming which mostly tanes place kn thr web now) this is how it works. I casually browse jobs from time to time and out of curiosity I notice that a lot of domains and companies seem to have to categories of jobs: "student / recent grad" which generally seems to be supported by university recruiting and "experienced".
