Everyone is talking about Python, and only the Python developers truly know why!
For the rest of us, here are 5 reasons you should start using Python before the year is up, and then 1 reason you shouldn’t!
1. Data Science – It is the most popular programming language of Data Scientists & Machine Learning Engineers
2. Its simple to use and easy to learn
3. There is a huge global community of devs producing really good Libraries and toolsets to power up your projects
4. Job Prospects & Salary – with every tech company currently talking about Python, its a pretty safe bet you’ll be earning good money with excellent prospects in the near future
5. Python is a multi purpose language, which means you won’t be tied in to a particular industry or sector, giving you plenty of routes to progress your career
OK, Sounds great, but what’s the downside?
Although Python is great for developers, if you are a CTO or Hiring Manager, you will no doubt know Python developers are in incredibly short supply, which makes them VERY HARD to recruit for…
As a result, and with the Python & Data Science market as active as ever, here at Shift F5 we spend our days engaging with Developers, Data Scientists/Engineers and Machine Learning Engineers to help them find their next career move.
