Congratulations on graduating, if you understand the basics such as DS&A, Discrete Maths/Big-O, and theory of computation you should be fine.

I wouldn't worry too much imo as in CS there is always something to learn. Many tech companies hiring grads are under the assumption you wouldn't be great at SWEing so they would teach you stuff and you would pick it up.

If you want to have more CS knowledge, I'd recommend joining a FOSS repo and just work on code and ask questions. Surprisingly a lot of people on the IRC channels actually like to help you out and answer questions. Plus code review is always something useful. Probs suggest something like memory is more efficient using this or using a map instead of a list.

Once again congratulations on graduating. It is good you are reaching out as many others just graduate and think it be the same as uni and just not expand out or anything.

P.S if you need any links to books for the things above I've mentioned just lmk and ill comment it.
