I’d argue what you do before you get your first job doesn’t matter as long as it helps you moving towards getting there. The faster, the better.
What is important is to understand what you want to do first since CS is very broad. If you can find a subset within CS, such as web development, app development etc, then things become easier.
It enables you to get a job/internship quicker; boot camps, self-learning, bachelors degree, so many paths!
Once I got my internship at a company located in a tech hub city, the connections I got there and the ability to write it on my resume was all I needed. I went back home and started my masters while working remotely but I very quickly realized that no one asked for a degree anymore, references / portfolio was all I needed.
I continued taking my masters, but only doing the courses I enjoyed. :)
