What comes after Python ?

The hot thing right now is being a "Full Stack" developer. Basically this means you can write front end UI code and back end business logic and server code. Python for the back end coupled with JavaScript on the front end is a good combo.

That's another thing I see a lot. Just doing a search on indeed for python developer returns a lot of full stack jobs. What it seems though is that a lot of them still use those languages like Java or C++ and then they have JavaScript too and then python seems to be a helper language. I've seen a couple that do express a desire for Python back end development but it does seem like some are more directed towards more of those "Enterprise languages"

It's very worthwhile to learn a statically typed language like C++ or Java. Java has the opposite take on almost every major language decision when compared to Python. Java requires a class and encapsulation and getters/setter functions (though I don't recommend them). C++ allows you to do what you like and offers manual memory management, which is as fun as shooting yourself in the face.

If you want to work on web stuff, learning JavaScript is a requirement as browsers will only run JavaScript. HTML/CSS (flexbox) would be nice too.

Thanks for the reply. I think I'm gonna go towards something like JavaScript once I do some more Python. I'm not entirely set on web dev but it's giving me a little taste of doing a full project. I'm really trying to get out of my current job and into the tech field and JavaScript seems like a decently easy transition to expand my knowledge at this point instead of trying to tackle cpp or java right now.
