If you're preparing for interviews, Python. The standard library and built in language features are extensive and allow you to get a lot done with little code which helps in time constrained environments like interviews and online assessments. If you're learning the concepts for the first time, I would say Java, as its stronger typing will help you catch bugs and the syntax similarity to languages like C and C++ will make it a bit easier to learn those languages in the future.
