“Hey guys, going straight to the point: I just started learning to code this week, but I don’t know anyone who has pursued this career. I chose Python for obvious reasons, but I’m still a bit lost about which skills I should focus on and what’s trending in the market right now. If any kind soul is willing to guide me through the basics of how the market works, I’d be forever grateful.”
This whole forum can be thought of as a mentoring community. When you have questions, just ask them.
The whole community is here to help you progress in your skills, as @ArielLeslie mentioned. You can start by learning the basic skills of Python and then move on to advanced and more complex topics, depending on the position you’re targeting, such as a data analyst, data engineer, or data scientist. This approach will clarify your path, helping you determine what to focus on and what to avoid. Additionally, you might want to explore career paths like software engineering or web development to expand your opportunities. Feel free to ask any questions. We’ll be happy to help!
I can help, send me a pm and we can start
- Hiring manager will ask you to show your projects built on GitHub so that s/he can judge your problem solving and coding skills. This is as simple as that.
Otherwise if you’re in India, it’s “It is very much dog eat dog out there”
I have never seen this happen.
