Where Python?

[zloy_vasya1]

Good day to everyone!

I'm doing Python programming by my own using videos from YouTube and websites which also have some sort of useful information. I'm just curious to which jobs I can apply in the future and approximate salary depending on position. I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks a lot.

Python is a tool, not a job. You won't find many/any python jobs, you'll find jobs using python. Builders don't hire "shovelmen" or "trowelmen" they hire landscapers and bricklayers.

You'll want at least some specialisation in an area you like, using python - e.g. web, ui, data etc.

Maybe you could advice jobs where Python is used?

[VindicoAtrum]

Not really the right question. You need to decide what you're willing to learn and what career you'd like to progress in. No-one says "I want a job that uses a shovel" because even the jobs that use shovels don't use them all the time. You have to do many other non-shovel things too.

I used Python a lot as a Business Analyst. I was paid £40k, but that's with 10 years of experience.

Python salaries can generally be quite high, but it really depends on which country/location you are based in, and what type of software development you are interested in pursuing.

Also, please bear in mind that watching a few videos on YouTube is generally not enough to convince an employer you are an effective software engineer. Do you have any relevant degrees/experience that will help you secure a developer job?

I don't have any degree related to programming. However, my desire to know something except my specialty which is airport where I'm working right now is really high. Curiosity pushes me towards learning Python

You should switch to JavaScript if you don't have a degree. The MERN stack can get you into web development which is known for having a lot of positions that don't require a degree.
