- Figure out where and how you want to work. Let's assume you're going to stay in the DFW area and that you want to get hired on somewhere (as opposed to consulting[1] or working on your own startup). - Look for local job openings on non-crappy job sites for Python web developers. - Do some napkin statistics gathering on who's looking for what, and how many outfits are looking for what (eg. what are people looking for in your area? Django? Flask? Google App Engine? Learn the top of the list. - Bone up on HTML/CSS/JS/jQuery, how WSGI works, and more Django. - Come June, apply for jobs. Don't undersell yourself. Bust your ass on-the-job to prove yourself. Good luck and keep us updated. I am contemplating a similarly-risky move and I have nothing but respect for you and confidence that you'll succeed. You certainly sound like you have your stuff in order. 1 I wouldn't hire you as a consultant because you have no industry experience. Mom and pop shops might, though, but I suspect you wouldn't be able to live off of it full-time. |
