It’s great
It would be nice to have all of those skills for sure. Are you looking at this as a roadmap for your education? That is a lot to bite off so to speak! If one was starting from scratch, I’d say start using Arduino and/or Raspberry Pi, which would mean a start at C and/or Python as well as potentially some of the other concepts on the list like GPIO.
iot hardware developing? maybe?
I’m a fresh graduate and I’m come across 40% of these already. I have knowledge of Arduino ( used it many times) esp32 as well. I have not used a Pi though
The Pi is a good thing to experiment with as you’re dealing with what is basically a computer. Also, with the compute modules the heart of these systems can be integrated into a larger device for various IoT purposes.
If you’re looking for a job though, good to think about not just the salary but what kind of skills you might learn (at least directionally). I graduated in mechanical engineering and was involved in industrial automation, so my path would likely be much different than yours. I wish I’d put more thought into things strategically, but at the end of the day I’m pretty happy with what I was able to learn while working for others.
