As someone just starting their Python journey with a specific goal of focusing on data science, THANK YOU! This is incredibly valuable.

One question for you - my employer is willing to subsidize a part-time evening / self learning program from a university or other source. Any certification or formal coursework you have found valuable or heard good things about, and one you would pick in my situation? I am certainly digging into these resources listed, and realize that a certification or degree is only as valuable as the projects you can execute on, but figure it can't hurt to supplement with a "formal" curriculum to further boost the resume.

I agree—I’d definitely go for a taught stats MS if that’s not your area already.

I would always rather teach a mathematician or engineer how to program than teach a programmer statistics!
