Hi Devdatta,

That really depends on multiple factors. Here's some:

  • Do you understand Python? Do you feel like if you would get paid to solve a problem, would you be able to? Look at freelancing jobs in your area and see what tasks might be.

  • Did you code along and create your own projects during the course of the track? You need to be able to show customer that you can do the job.

  • Do you have previous coding experience?

Basically, I would say no when it comes to the beginner Python track or if you're new to coding. But there are always people who succeed and find a way if they are really dedicated. Is it possible? Yes. Is it the norm? Not really.

I hope that helps.
