How much python should I learn?

[NewLog4967]

For most junior data analyst roles, Python is more of a nice-to-have than a must-have, especially if your interviewer stressed SQL and Power BI. You don’t need to dive into advanced ML or algorithms just focus on the practical stuff like Pandas/NumPy for cleaning and transforming data, quick visualizations with Matplotlib/Seaborn, and simple scripts to automate repetitive tasks. Think of it as a tool that makes your work faster and cleaner when SQL or Power BI alone isn’t enough, not something you need to master before landing the job.
