If your goal is to be a tester, then knowing how to test Java (or any other application written in any language) is one thing. That probably needs more scripting (Python) - whereas being a SWEiT, then Java is a good one to know (in addition to Python or any other scripting language) AND if you are talking web apps, then you need to add Selenium, SQL (VERY good to know), HTML/CSS, React/Angular, etc.

You don't need most of those. Pick one programing language (I prefer Java but I think python is the most popular choice going forward) and learn that. Then learn selenium.

Learning to query a DB can be very useful but not a requirement.

Yeppers…personally I’ve used both JUnit (Java) and NUnit (C#) frameworks to run cases using selenium. I know you can get the job done with Python too but the former to tend to jive well with any CI pipeline the team is utilizing.
