Question about job market in Japan.

Hello! I'm thinking of moving to Japan within the next couple of years and I'd like to hear some advice on how to improve my chances of getting a nice job in IT.

I'm 23 years old. I finished my bachelor's this year (computer engineering) and plan on starting a master's program next year. Other than that, I have some (limited) working experience, as I mostly focused on academic work during my time in college, but I do have some scientific publications to my name.

My japanese is in that awkward transition between N3 and N2, but I'm a serious student and I plan on taking the JLPT next year.

Mostly what I'd like to know is what to focus on during this time while I'll be doing my master's, if I should try to get more publications, expand my working experience, or maybe even learn another language.

Thanks everyone, for your time and your patience. Sorry if this is not something that I should be asking here.
