It really depends on what kind of career you want to have. If you're looking for a career at a FANG company, you pretty much just need to do what everyone else is doing and cater to your PM.

If you're more risk-prone, find a problem and start a company. Too many good developers are wasted at FANG companies instead of solving the world's biggest problems. When you graduate, you'll likely be around 22-23, if you spend 4 years working hard on something you truly care about you'll only be in your mid-twenties and haven't really lost all that much time.

Obviously, handle any financial obligations (Student Loans mainly) before jumping into the startup deep-end.
