Security Researcher Seeks Career Advice on Python Skills and Future Focus

A cybersecurity researcher with 5 years of experience in EDR detection engineering, malware analysis, and Windows endpoint security is seeking career advice. Without formal programming training, they can read and modify code with the help of AI but are not a proficient developer, and their reverse engineering skills are limited. They want to know what level of Python proficiency is actually expected for security research positions and where to invest their time to advance in the industry, whether in deep research, reversing, cloud security, or another field.
