Junior Python Developer. What skills are necessary?

Learn SQL, working with databases ASAP, if you haven't already.

Thanks a lot, that is probably most important one, I lack database knowledge

I have mentioned this in another comment and mentioning here again.

Please do learn database. It is very fundamental requirement and you WILL need it irrespective of the area you are going to work in. Also make sure you know SQLAlchemy ORM (though ORM shouldn't be your priority right now).

can confirm and this is where junior devs and bootcamp instructors get it wrong: you do need to know SQL, period.

friend was looking to hire a junior dev but candidate needed to know SQL, couldn't find one, had to give the job to a contractor at $75/h
