python is usually the next step up in admin land
python is a pretty standard install on linux systems since so many things like you’re talking about use it

You missed one:
Don’t take issue with the platform. Take issue with companies that are so fanatical with “we’re a microsoft/java/javascript/esperanto shop!” that they’d cram it into medical devices and nuclear reactor controls before doing some sort of sober domain analysis.
Everything has its own set of problems.
Technical videos have helped me perfect my pronunciation of “umm” and “uhh.”
Thought I might follow up since I had an interview today - I never stop interviewing - and was asked about duration. My off-the-cuff response was “if a company invests in its employees, offers growth and promotes internally, then I will work for a place longer. If it does not and only offers a dead-end role with no appreciable growth, then I will look for that opportunity elsewhere.”
throw yourself to the wolves

18 months is the Holmes limit at Bank of America and Wells Fargo - they terminate you and let you know when you start that it’s going to happen. It’s normal in fintech. But don’t change without a funded and secured offer.
Go ahead and graduate to etckeeper if you’re targeting /etc
From a historical standpoint, there is also the bad blood of ActiveX, Flash, Silverlight and early Java applets that still leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths. It has a slightly steeper uphill battle to fight.
Generally the most supported language on the tool/platform you want to target is the best one. Like SQL on databases, JS/ES in browsers, python in data science related stuff, etc. If multiple are heavily supported then just pick the one that’s the most comfortable.
It’s worth doing it. There’s a LOT of ground to cover beyond lambda, ec2 and s3 and they pretty much hand you a bunch of best-fit cookie cutter solutions as part of the training. There’s a number of recommended paid training courses but the official courses are free and can at least lay foundational knowledge.
I can think of surgeon examples but I’ve never heard of Recruiters Without Borders. Unless it’s just CapGemini
Fintech is easy to deal with in this regard.
“do you have code samples you can share?”
“would you be happy if an employee interviewed elsewhere and used your codebase for work samples?”
It’s likely not the full story, but there were some crazy export restrictions in the 90s. Apple made a commercial poking at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjkoYlpf3EA
BBSs had fidonet in 1993, if email, usenet and irc don’t count
They use Atlanta Metro, AWS and GCP as far as I know. I want to say they own the Oregon DC but can’t remember.
I can vouch for podman. It can run daemonless and rootless, symlinks to docker.sock and the ui works with both kubernetes (kind & minikube) and most of the docker desktop extensions.
A more honest code test:
interviewer: “see if you can get this project my nephew made in high school to run”
job: getting the next project their nephew made in high school to run

Knock off the childish fucking gatekeeping and go back to reddit. It’s what the wider industry uses.
