This is funny. When I started learning programming with Python last year I kept reading about the scarcity of python jobs. Did it change so fast?


I think there aren't that many Python jobs compared to Java, PHP, C#, but they're starting to increase.

It is strange to me as well, that I see so many people passionate about Python and, at the same time, I hear so many companies having difficulties finding Python devs.

One reason could be that the interest in Python varies by country. For example, in Romania there are very few Python programmers. Secondly, maybe the companies have too high expectations, asking for front and back-end experience and maybe even some low-level skills (C, C++).


Ever heard of Paul Graham's Python Paradox http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html its a little old but still awesome and relevent


It's relevant if you replace Python with something newer.
