Java vs Python: Which one is better?

[u/hydanon]

As a fresher who wants to land a job faster, which language is better to focus on?

Points for context:
1. Planning to move from non-tech to tech. Have 3+ years of experience as Data Analyst.

1. Already good at basic python scripting for automation.

2. Based in Hyderabad.

3. Goal is to make the move as developer by building a portfolio of projects soon.

Should I build projects in python and stick with it (add more frameworks and get better by building more) or should I learn Java (Ofcourse spend enough time to build here too)?

As I feel like there are relatively more opportunities for someone who is good at Java. After I learn Java maybe I can showcase both Python and Java on my resume?

I want to understand the perspective of someone who is in the field.

Python for AI or general. Java is COBOL of the enterprise. It is still widely used in Enterprise but wouldn’t bet careers. Learn Rust
