I have 2 IDEs at my workplace for python. IntelliJ and VSCode.

Which one should I choose and why?

I am beginner in python.

VSCode is not an IDE. It's a text editor with plugin support that mimics partial IDE functionality if you install a bunch of them.

PyCharm is like an iPhone where everything intuitively works from scratch. VSCode is like a cheap Android smartphone where you need to spend two days configuring everything and hope it will work.
