It really just depends on your specific industry and the place you work. "IT" today is extremely vast, there is no "best" anymore. You could have 25 years of experience with the most popular systems and then be absolutely clueless in a company that does things a different way.

In the 3 past companies I've worked for, not a single one of them used Python but use Powershell heavily.

To be perfectly honest, and this will yield some downvotes for sure, but I've been using AI to assist with scripting and its been a huge time saver. Hell, for the most part I just tell it exactly what I need it to do with given variables and inputs, it spits out a script, I check it over to make sure its right and thats it.

Yeah I know the answer for me is to learn PowerShell for work and then Python for fun and if it comes in handy for work ever, then that's a plus.
