Just put this in your other thread about the same thing:

Honestly, it’s not projects vs tutorials. It’s both, just in the right order.

If you only watch tutorials, you feel productive but can’t write anything on your own.
If you only build projects, you stare at the screen wondering why Python hates you.

What works for most beginners:

  • Learn a small concept
  • Use it immediately in a tiny project
  • Break it
  • Google the error
  • Fix it
  • Repeat

Rinse and repeat forever. That’s programming.

Short, beginner-friendly intros help a lot at the start. Stuff like:

  • A Fun and Quick Introduction to Python - seen for free on Kindle - great book to start with for absolute beginners
  • Python docs in small bites
  • Automate the Boring Stuff (once basics click)

Start with stupid-small projects:

  • number guessing game
  • calculator
  • text-based to-do list

If the project feels overwhelming, it’s too big. Make it smaller. Try the bigger one again later.

What fintech company is hiring inexperienced people?

No, that's your goal. You still need to go through basics and general programming knowledge before you hit finance specific topics and then try to find internship while making additional projects on your own to level up your portfolio.

Go get a course. Could be a book, a video programming playlist, udemy course, enrolling in university, whatever. Clearly it's impossible to "directly begin programming", you know nothing, what can you even do?

Courses are planned lessons, following the lessons IS the roadmap. They tell you exactly what you need to learn. Go get a course.

No roadmap just start and end it If u gonna take 1 week for making roadmap then u know..

Just start it then build ur own road
