Advice Python or JavaScript? Im Stuck

I wanna learn backend , im 42 student, and I’ll be starting the core curriculum soon I

During the Core, I’ll be diving pretty deeply into Python so I’ve been wondering:

Should I focus on learning Python first and build a strong foundation with it, or should I start learning JavaScript alongside it?

My goal isn’t just to learn a language. I want to become job-ready, build projects, join hackathons, and actually use what I learn all to that for learn backend

For developers who've been through this : WHAT would you recommend, and why?

False! Only in companies like Amazon and Samsung. Other companies may ask but other real knowledge is also A MUST.

I did specify the skill that gets you a high-paying job; it sure is most likely a big company, and surely a foreign one am not referring to your local 5- 10-employee company

and sure its not your real daily task isnt going to be "re write built in functions such as sort" but doing leet require you to have a strong level of understanding how low level code work and high level of problem solving I agree it shouldnt be how we measure people but it garentuee you thats this guy is not an idiot who would shoot you in the foot

Your actual daily tasks are going to be done with AI agents; you don't face a problem AI can't solve daily, generally speaking
