Coding in Python

What level is considered proficient in coding (or alternatively, good enough to get a job)? Like what stuff should I know how to do?

for context, i am not looking for a job in coding right now and am studying a completely unrelated degree :)

idk but learn data structures really well

Build a lot of projects to bloat your resume there are a lot of python devs out there if you want to a job you need to have a good resume

Learn pandas and matplotlib, they are very useful to say you know for python. Pandas is a data analysis library and matplotlib is a graph plotting library. Also do lots of fun coding exercises, put any code you think is good of yours on github and share said github by putting it on a cv, this also tells your potential employer you know git(Learn git it is used in pretty much every programming job that requires multiple people on the same code)

Document your code and keep it neat; if you can show it to a random person that knows python and they can easily understand what it's supposed to be doing then you're fine.

imo 70% of being qualified to work a coding job is being able to collaborate with others, the rest you'll pick up eventually after many google searches and many hours of troubleshooting.

Just build projects with python that will give u necessary experience.

asking the question here means, you aren't ready bro lol

do leetcode and try to solve medium consistently maybe some hard ones
also as others said learn data structures and be familiar with libraries like pandas

Just study the basics and do some projects. Think of something you want to build and build it.

And read the documentation of course.

If you want to learn actually useful python for popular swe jobs, I'd say learn how APIs work in python and make some fun apps using API requests
DSA is obviously everyone's interest in an interview so that's a must if you're looking for a SWE job
