Back End Developer Python Django salaries in India

As I continue my journey from IT support into software development, I’m curious to hear from experienced developers, hiring managers, and tech professionals. If you were starting over in 2026 and wanted to become a software developer, what skills would you focus on learning first?

I am a Sri Lankan developer with experience as an Intern Web Developer. I also have 2+ years of experience building software development on personal projects + web development as a freelancer. I have been self-studying in this field since around 2018. (I was at school back then..) Can I apply directly for Associate / Level 1 Software Engineer roles? Do I need to do an internship in Software Engineering again? What should I do to land a job as a Software Engineer?
