Lets assume you got already into t10 school. What do you need to become top 10% of CS grads or elite?

How many leetcode problems do you need to solve. How many projects and what type of projects do you need?

I know that right now you need to be top 10% to land any job in tech so I wonder what it takes. I got into t10 CS school but I wonder if its worth it to go or go into other major?

Recently on this sub I have seen post about careers where you can make 300k+. And looking at the posts the conclusion was that getting CS job is right now harder than getting into high paying finance, law or medicine.

Is that really the truth? Is getting job in law finance or medicine way easier than in CS. If so why people still go into CS that is harser to get in and pay less if they can just go into law where its easier?
