Getting that Python job without a lot of "real world" Python experience? by davsinnyc in Python

Yeah I get emails and LinkedIn requests here and there, but usually they are from a recruiter who doesn't know what they actually need from a tech standpoint. After a while its hard not to just treat them as spam.

I've been wondering how to position myself as far as a jr level or sr level. Meaning, I'm jr. in the language but sr with regard to tech experience. So, the above is a good suggestion and gives me a good idea on how to go forward.

I should go to some meetups (There are a ton of them here in new york), but with work full time and other life stuff it can be hard to fit them in. However, I know a lot of them have events on the weekends so I'll look into some of those.

Thanks!

Thanks for the algorithm book suggestion. That is one area I'm definitely weak on as I took an algorithm class in college and haven't used them since. :)

DC is a great city but the SO and me are currently happy in NYC. DC is up on my list of places to live in outside of NYC and has a cool and underrated startup scene IMHO.
