There are a lot of free resources for learning python online - Coursera, Udemy etc but I also like the data camp platform. Pick up the basics and try to complete some project in line with the tasks you could use in your job. Doing projects will let you run into problems and troubleshoot them which will be really helpful. That should give you a comfortable level where you can play with it in your job and try to apply it there

Edit: i also recommend starting out with some YouTube videos that go over the fundamentals of python, it'll make it everything a bit more familiar once you start whatever course you choose

I started teaching myself a year ago and have gotten quite good with it. Happy to chat and give my perspective.

Automate the boring stuff with Python is a great book.

I used that a bunch of online resources to get stronger.

Main advice is this; Python has lots and lots of libraries/capabilities. So make a list of what tasks you would like to be able to do, find the appropriate libraries within Python.

Then build a basic foundation with a Udemy class or textbook. Then start using online Youtube tutorials for the specific libraries you are interested in.

Forget courses. Learn by understanding the basics -> picking an interesting project -> learning while solving the problems in the project

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)?

My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

What should I do in a scenario where I was hired (12+ years) with far less salary than(~20% less) than other members (4+ experience) in team and asked to take 80% of team's responsibilities.

The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
