How to get out of stupor and stagnation?

Question

Career in IT

In the middle of 2020, I started learning Python (previously I studied C++).
After learning the syntax, I started studying codewars and subsequently came to learn web scraping.
There is 1 project with BeautifulSoup library - https://github.com/exonasm/drom_parser .
After continuing with Django, not without difficulties. Currently able to write a web application with blog functionality.
I sent my resume to the position of Python Junior Developer, but without success. In addition, he was overwhelmed by the high requirements for a candidate for this position (which can be attributed to his softness).
And now I can not determine my vector of development.
However, there is a choice:
- Continue to study the technologies and concepts indicated in the vacancies for the position of Backend Developer
- Go to a different direction (Bot, Data Science, ML)
- Start studying Mobile development (since one friend is several times older, and already established as a programmer in commercial development, assures that the threshold for entering this development is lower than in the Web-backend)

If the problem is exclusively personal (character, perseverance, willpower, impulsiveness) , please indicate the solution.

PS : In order to more accurately convey the fullness of my personal crisis, initially I thought about the formation of Sis. Admin, in accordance with which he studied courses (books) on certificates. As a result, I decided to jump off and put pressure on programming.

Answer 1

Adorable. It never happened and here it is again.

In mid-2020, I started learning Python (previously studied C++)

Well, where with such knowledge. People plow for a year to get a job, study at courses, they don’t see white light to get a job in development. Where so fast?

I sent my resume to the position of Python Junior Developer, but without success.

That's when you get around a hundred companies - you can think about what's wrong and start collecting feedback

Data Science, ML

Probably the only direction in IT where the road is closed without a relevant tower

assures that the threshold for entering this development is lower than in the Web-backend

There is also a lot written on the fence. Everyone in IT has their own story and everyone has their own vision of the situation. Getting your first job is hard anyway and very often more luck

If the problem is purely personal (character), please indicate the solution.

There are no problems at all. There is a misunderstanding of how the market works

Answer 2

Dude, it's time to stop studying and start writing applications and immediately everything will fall into place

Answer 3

Well, in my humble opinion, you thought something very early about changing the vector. You write in the language for only two or three months, but you are already sour and want to change something. It's not about a specific language, but you still need to change yourself a little and become more persistent.

Answer 4

Well, great, another 5-10 years and you will become a normal June.
