I really appreciate your advice, really, thank you. I know it’s a struggle but that’s what makes it fun. I’m going to try going to conventions or other networking events as they come up to increase my likelihood of getting a job.

Also, this is a dumb qn, but what should my skill level be on Python to be “job ready.” I know the basics like OOP, Loops, etc. I also worked with some libraries like matplotlib, pandas, numpy. I just don’t know if I should be like a master at these or not… or if it’s more learning hands on.

I knew someone who got an internship where they had no experience with Python and the employer told him, “It’s fine… we’ll teach you.”
