I know this is a place for quant topics but I cannot post anywhere else due to low karma!!

I know getting into quant finance has a very slim chance. So I need to know other options too because I have dived into this degree on pure interest and have not really searched for career options

I plan to do master in statistics after this and many of my classmates have already figured out their career. I plan to learn python, start leetcode, Andrew NG ML course(worth it?), BMC certificate (for tge cv), SQL.

What more skills would I need to get a good profile?And are there any unnecessary ones in those mentioned above??

I am a bit confused about which one to buy. If it was only required after a few days , I could ask around and find a better one. What would be a good laptop for around 60k budget?

Hp pavillion AMD ryzen 5 5625u or Hp pavillion AMD ryzen 5 5500 u
How is their battery life and will it last for atleast 3 years?

It would be good if it have a good battery life and would last for atleast 3 years without much issue. It should be able to run python and others smoothly.
