Not really something of high value to be honest. Learning the language and then building a portfolio to showcase is the real way to validate skills with a prospective employer and also to learn the language proper.

But if you’re asking for best learning resources that’s a diff Q altogether….and even that depends on your preferred style of learning

I couldn’t find this answer on google much either. Would you say that creating real world projects that showcases your scraping, plotting, etc. would be the better path?

That’s some great advice, I really appreciate it.

Hi! Coursera offers a certification and some of the courses offer a case study to help build your portfolio.

I have Google IT Automation in Python & Pearson PCAP… they both seem to help my resume-> the PCAP is more focused on fine details of the interpreter & standard library w/ a proctored exam. The Google cert is more hands-on lab focused with some basic use cases in the curriculum.

I also have LinkedIn’s top 5% Python badge, IDK if it helps the resume but it helps my self esteem 😁

But as the PSF doesn’t offer any certs, I would echo that portfolio & open source project contributions look even better than certs.

I’ve started working at this law firm back in March of this year. I wasn’t too familiar with the law field and was in school to become a paralegal.

I work with 3 other people including two attorneys and one paralegal. Fast forward a few months now, I’ve started to realize that this firm may not be a good fit for me. But I’m finding it hard to leave, tips?
