What direction to choose after university?

Question

IT education

Hello everyone, please tell me, I am finishing my undergraduate degree at an IT university in Moscow. In August / September I plan to run for interviews. At the university, I wrote in python, c++ (there were no relatively complex projects in development).

Now I'm choosing where to go next (profile), choosing between PHP (Lavarel\Symfony) or Python (python itself, or developing projects on Djanfo\Flask). Moreover, both PHP and Python (which is the first stack with Lara and Symbols, which is Flask and Django) give the same results for hh in terms of the number of jobs.

I ask for advice from experienced people, which language should I focus on? Everyone advises in the voice of Python, allegedly because of its versatility, back \ front \ machine learning \ DS, etc. For PHP, this is only backing, and web development, or am I wrong?

Answer 1

1) And what the fuck, having received a bachelor's degree from an IT university in Moscow, you "didn't have any relatively complex projects in development." Intelligent guys during their studies go to various internships in large IT companies, get their hands on combat projects, and so on. As a result, upon graduation from the university, they receive an offer for their hands (or even several).
And you have a situation at the level of some kind of white-collar, who yesterday was a taxi driver, and today he talks in php or python because he started a marketing bullshit on the net.
2) Your suffering of choice will end very quickly when you are sent for a couple of first interviews, and given a choice: "Work in technical support for some Rostelecom or close the door on the other side."
ps You can expect to see such a question from a schoolboy or some non-core dude, but obviously not an IT university graduate. The level of training and personal motivation of the candidate is just the bottom.

Answer 2

I studied at home for a couple of years to fry cutlets, so I asked myself the same question:
Guys, will they take at least a cashier in poppy? Or still go to the chef? need your advice.
What is the priority now? Where is the most money paid? I've been frying cutlets for 3 years :c
