Moving from System/Business Analyst to Python Developers?

Question

Career in IT

2 years worked as a System/Business Analyst in a company supporting its system for medical institutions. After these years, I realized that the constant endless support of the system for new Wishlist and orders of the state customer is already pretty tired, and the prospects for career growth and salary are not encouraging. For this reason, questions of further development arose:

1) Is it worth it to remain a systems analyst, but move to another company? Are there any development prospects, perhaps as a system architect? There is no particular desire to constantly study the subject area and business processes of the new company's system for ongoing support.

2)I looked at backend development in Python. I have knowledge of OOP, AIS and system architecture, only in JAVA and .NET. I don't consider C#/.NET in principle. Java development is also not interesting, 9 out of 10 cases - support for an existing enterprice system that is already sitting in the liver. I think learning Python and web development in general will not be difficult. Is it worth moving to a backend Python developer position? Will my current CA/BA experience in this position be useful to me and will it somehow help me in getting a job? What web projects and what scale are currently being developed in Python?

3) Is it possible to apply the knowledge of CA / BA and Python developer together in any position in the future?

Answer 1

endless support of the system for new Wishlist and orders of the state customer is already pretty tired

in development, you will do exactly the same thing. Developers are just doing what they are constantly finishing the existing code "under the new Wishlist" of the customer, it does not matter if it is internal or external. This is the core of a programmer's job. Not many lucky people write code from scratch, most work with existing products.
Going into development, your current field will seem like just child's play, and the level of complexity will increase significantly.

1) Is it worth it to remain a systems analyst, but move to another company? Are there any development prospects, perhaps as a system architect? There is no particular desire to constantly study the subject area and business processes of the new company's system for ongoing support.

If you move to a product company, it may be a little more interesting, as you will need to study the wishes of customers and come up with the most universal solution.

2) I looked at backend development in Python. I have knowledge of OOP, AIS and system architecture, only in JAVA and .NET. I don't consider C#/.NET in principle. Java development is also not interesting, 9 out of 10 cases - support for an existing enterprice system that is already sitting in the liver. I think learning Python and web development in general will not be difficult. Is it worth moving to a backend Python developer position? Will my current experience in this position be useful to me and will it somehow help with employment? What web projects and what scale are currently being developed in Python?

I can't speak for Python. But I think you are too biased towards Java and C#.
There are quite interesting and fresh projects in C#. And the language / platform has changed a lot over the past 5 years.

3) Is it possible to apply the knowledge of CA / BA and Python developer together in any position in the future?

Quite. You will be able to communicate with the CA/BA in the same language, and it may well turn out that in some cases you will be able to offer a better way to solve a problem.
Well, since you are an analyst, then most likely your soft skills are more advanced than the average developer, which is also a big plus.
