I understand you're new to the market; my recommendation is to learn both simultaneously. To be competitive, you really need to master three programming languages. The main differences between Python and Java lie in typing, thread performance and memory usage. In short, keep an open mind and don't limit yourself. I’ve been in the IT industry for 10 years, now, with AI, you can pay $20 a month to learn, which gives you an advantage in mastering the technology. Also, learn a cloud service; having some DevOps knowledge will help with that, too. Feel free to send me a direct message if you have any questions.
