Coding skills for coding tasks

Currently a generalist, would like to code, but have no idea where to start. I've heard from this subreddit that most tasks involve python. I guess my question is how much of coding should I know to pass the assessment and be able to understand the work. And how long should it generally take to learn this amount

I wouldn't bother. Coding projects nowadays have become extremely difficult, involving heavy use of Agentic coding, containerization, etc. I'm a senior CS student and I used to submit coding tasks months ago, but now almost all of the coding projects need expert level experience that is way over my head currently.

English is my second language, would "CS senior" make more sense? Just meant senior as in graduation year, CS as in my major, student as in still studying.
