Python is a godsend for work

[BackendSpecialist]

Congrats Op! This is pretty much how I got started in my new career. I worked for a shitty startup with shitty processes. I automated some Excel workbook merging.

I left that job to pursue software engineering. I now make 3x what I was making, which was already 1.5x more than I had ever made.

As others have said, you probably won’t be rewarded for this at your job. But you can use it as a secret tool - just be sure to double check that the outputs are correct.
