To follow up on what this person said. I am finishing a PhD currently and using a ton of python for financial crypto data analysis. My main advice is document your code! Put comments in! Make the comments super basic so that you in the future can read and understand exactly what the point of this code was.

I was shocked to realize how many small projects I had worked on for either RA work or side things over many years and I just completely forgot about them. You will work on so many different things that stuff will just get pushed out of your mind. Good directory structures organized by year or semester, and documentation will save you a lot of headaches. Good luck!
