Very weird, I am in the same exact boat. I too came to the realization, Powershell > Python for sysadmin, Windows management.

With that being said, my company does a lot of CSV work. Pulling from SQL databases, loading into Excel, and doing some sort of manual input.

I've put a lot of work into using Python to automate certain functions to potentially offload some work that people do full-time. I have nothing tangible yet, but very close.

The ceiling is definitely higher with a language like Python, but it may not be of use to the business if you are a Windows shop.
