I am in the fourth semester of my physics B.Sc and my plan is to hopefully get employed in the semiconductor industry. I was planning to continue with a Masters degree in physics, though I am considering Electrical Engineering for instance, and from what I have gathered, I should try and make myself more employable in this case.

Apart from gathering work experience, what skills should I acquire for this industry?
I have been using lecture notes from an Engineering undergrad to learn circuitry, and am also trying to learn coding, where I already have some knowledge in C and R due to taking a numerics and statistics class respectively. Is this advisable, and is there anything else to aim for?

I do not know much about condensed matter physics frankly, how is it in terms of industry? Staying in academics is not really an option for me. I might add, I wouldn't be completely adverse to the "data sciencist" route I've been reading about either. That, as well as adjacent jobs, are apparently also where many physics graduates end up?
