Hello everyone, looking for suggestions here. Previously I have done programming in Java (4yrs) and after that, last 3 years I have been doing DevOps (docker, bash script and python). Now I am preparing for interviews. So should I go back to Java to prepare or should I learn Python? With Python my experience is just scripting. So will have to learn OO and web dev. But I am hoping that Python would prepare me for future roles such as ML and modern webapp stack. Java would be quicker to learn but again have to refresh on data structure. I am targeting FAANG as well as other companies Thank you all in advance
Python
For interview, use what you’re best at. Some of your other points are valid but not important for interviews.
To me Python seems easier to learn and I feel like it can be used for many things. I wonder if a company where Java is mainly used would still consider me if I mentioned Python as primary language in resume.
Imo, use whatever you're most comfortable with at the current time. If you're about equal, use python for FANG- typically less code to do the same, and FANG is language agnostic for interviewing. Might be good to mention you know Java though be prepared for Java specific questions
Python is the best language for coding interviews.
