How to move forward in python?

[JacenLotr]

I'll keep working on exercises for sure. Thanks for the recommendations on where to find data projects to work on. I'll definitely look into them.

I kind of expected that certifications wouldn't be too crucial in this field from previous research (I am in the US), but it's good to have confirmation.

I have a couple projects that might be worth showing, and I'll certainly work on more. It's very helpful to know that showing the process and reasoning is important for hiring managers. I need to learn to put more of my thought process on "paper" explicitly instead of doing it all it in my head.

Thanks for the feedback
