> Python and SQL and feel like I can use it to solve mostly all problems

This is a weak position in terms of your market value. Obviously python is far from being the best option for many domains outside ML or simple web monoliths. Just like any tech has its applicability areas.

I personally would not consider any developer really “senior” until he got commercial experience with both statically typed and dynamic languages.

It’s not about the typing discipline per se, but rather about whether a developer was exposed to different kinds/levels of challenges (like system programming in java vs building microservices with nodejs).
