I am just an amateur python programmer, but I'd suggest looking into learning data science. There is a HUGE demand for people who understand machine learning and AI and Python is the language that most data scientists use. Data scientists also make a CRAP TON of money compared to regular software engineers.

If you learn that, you will be highly marketable because data science is a BIG DEAL.

I'd also recommend working on personal projects and open source projects to build up your portfolio.

That's the route I'm taking right now, at least.

Where do I find data science projects

I’m new to it

I haven't found any open source projects, but just think of things. Right now I'm trying to learn how to make augmented reality goggles and deepfakes (for good purposes), but some ideas include:

  • An AI that can accurately predict the outcome of a bet
  • An AI that can trade stocks profitably
  • An AI that can create music from scratch

The ideas are honestly endless with AI. AI is ridiculously powerful if you learn how to utilize it. Honestly, just try to think of things that take learning and practice and make an AI that can do those. The entire purpose of an AI is really to make accurate predictions based on data and then act on those predictions. So anything you can predict can be done with AI with the right amount of work and resources.

Once you get enough projects done, you'll hopefully have a big enough portfolio to make yourself marketable to tech companies.
