Enter IT (to be honest - a terrible expression)?

Question

Python

Good afternoon, I am writing here for the first time and would really like to get advice from the pros.
I have a secondary medical degree, I get a higher technical one, but because of quarantine everything was transferred to a distance, and so I (mostly out of boredom) got acquainted with the Python language, to say that I fell in love is to say nothing, now it’s like 3 months. stably every day out of 3 free hours a day, 2 I kill for study, I have already read one book, the second one is almost written, a cloud of programs has already been written (easy, of course), my telegram bot and much more
Why this meaningless prehistory?
To stand out from similar topics that I read right there.
"How to start, what to do, I want to row money" (exaggeratedly)
I really ask for advice on what you need to know and study in order to start working in IT
Judging by the articles, I really liked the topics of ML, neural networks.
I also really enjoyed writing TG bots.
What needs to be done to turn your favorite hobby into a full-time job?
Any difficulties are welcome.

Answer 1

Keep learning Python and learning Django. Quite good if you also master NumPy and Pandas. With all this goodness, actively look for vacancies, pass interviews, be sure to take feedback, pull up what they didn’t take because of, repeat attempts.

Answer 2

while(true)
    // Писать код

• First, fill in a portfolio on the git (to show yourself, so to speak).
  
• Go freelancing, take simple orders and get your hands on production
  
• Learn other languages ​​(better low-level, as they develop good habits)
  
• Come up with a task of medium complexity as a pseudo-real project (the customer himself and execute)
  

Answer 3

I haven’t made friends with Python yet (I wrote neurons, and I don’t like web scraping), so I’ll tell you about my path:

1. Learn the basics and solve problems like 'print "Hello, World"'
   
2. You understand that you didn’t understand what you just learned and how it is applicable in real tasks
   
3. You come up with a project (if there is no fantasy yet, you go to point 1)
   
4. You go to programming olympiads, where real tasks for creating projects (WorldSkills at universities, hackathons), and not algorithmic ones
   
5. If gaps in knowledge were found after the Olympiad, you return to point 2
   
6. After you already want to show someone the project - You go and show
   
7. At some point, you will be offered a job because the task you solved is similar to the one required by the employer
   

Git is great for custom libraries, but it requires learning at least the basics.
You can also make your own projects and write about them (with a link to the git) on Habré (you need to pass the selection of the article through the "sandbox").

Answer 4

I really ask for advice on what you need to know and study in order to start working in IT

learn to solve tasks with your own code (in the chosen programming language), using optimal ready-made tools (libraries) and algorithms.
Start with an intern job and a small salary. Further, with the accumulation of experience, gradually increase the cost of your work.
Certification is a big plus!
