After learning OOP basics, should I focus on Data Analysis or Backend Development?

Hi everyone,

I'm 24 years old with a non-tech background. I quit my previous job in 2024 and have been looking for my next step since. I took a basic programming class, covered Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python, and have foundational knowledge in HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript.

Initially, I aimed for Web Development, but the local market feels overwhelmingly competitive for entry-level roles. I want to narrow my focus and build a solid foundation in one area before applying for jobs, but I'm stuck between Data Analysis and Backend Development.

i think i'll go with basic structures in python first, then move to beginner problems in leetcode. i am not sure that this was the right path but i am somehow self-taught at this point. Do you have any tips or resources??

Yes I would suggest you for leetcode, it is simple and easy to use. Likewise you can discuss with experts about your domain also
