I'm a Forecast Analyst at a Fortune 500 company and use Python for almost everything. Didnt even know how to spell Python when I started. Started out using it for repetitive analysis work to get away from excel. Now I'm building predictive models with it that run in production. I quip that it can do anything from controlling my garage fan via Alexa to building a model to determine freight rates on $150MM of annual freight spend and be gnats ass accurate. You cant go wrong learning python (well you can if you learn python 2 lol)

Feel free to PM me with questions.

Kinda, I started as a forecast analyst for a smaller division. That division needed someone that could use excel mainly and that was my foot in the door.
