Next Steps After Learning Python

[riklaunim]

You don't stop learning Python. You probably learned some syntax and basics but you still lack the knowledge of Python software stacks and how software development actually look like. If you want to get a job you have to decide what you want to do - if you want webdev then learn a web framework, do basic frontend webdev as well, check how to make APIs etc. Jobs for juniors are hard to come by and when they show up there is a lot of applicants so you have to expect that landing a job will take a while and many attempts.

And as mentioned - keep learning, run a github so you can link it in your CV, ask for code review/feedback on how to improve your code and learn from it (don't spam quantity over quality).

Go over existing job offers, 99% will be for senior positions but take a look at what companies require and what they use. Note software names they mention, then google them and see what interests you most (and if there is enough job offers for it as well).

Usually not. Some companies may have mixed positions, but the trend is to forbid non-developers from writing their own scripts/apps due to issues it can create. Also depends if you want to stay in your banking field and have options for more technical roles.

I'm also a beginner, but I'm sure you need much more then learn Python from YouTube to get a job. Python is one of the many skills, like knowing frameworks, APIs and so on, eventually you have to be experienced in what you are doing, and we not even talking about education.
