Work experience highly affects the kind of job you will be getting as well as how much you will be paid. For instance, a fresher or entry-level Python-dev earns 35% less than the industry average. On the other hand, mid-level and senior Python developers earn up to 38% and 192% more than the industry average.
However, the effects of the work experience can be lessened by some factors such as how well you perform in the interviews, the depth of your knowledge, or your hands-on experience on Python projects.
