Python vs Java for the most money and furture career prospects at FAANG+ companies?

Been given a choice if I wanted to continue on the Python path (last 2-3 years) or move to a Java project. Which one should I pick for the most money and future career prospects at FAANG+ companies? Which language should I pick if I want to tear my hair out less? Thanks! Python: - like the syntax but it seems so hacky (especially production code) that reading code is rather hard Java: - I like the strong typing, doesn't seem as hacky as python #java #python #fang #faang

Language doesn’t matter. Technologies maybe. Skills absolutely.

Alright then less hair-pulling... looking at python code and setting hasattr and setattr and overriding makes reading python code painstakingly hard.

Could you elaborate what you mean by skills? Are language/technology not skills?

Doesn't matter for money / prospects? I lean toward Java for less hair pulling in a multi-dev environment

Another opinion. C#

Amazon WdML10 OP Feb 6, 2023

I did C# for a few years as my first job out of school. I enjoyed that language as well as the rest of the Microsoft stack.
