I want to master Wordpress as a CMS with various custom views, menus, self-made theme designs etc. as quickly as possible so I could claim to my potential employers I can build a functioning Wordpress site.
(I already have experience as a web designer and know some PHP and MySQL and I'm also used to working in Python with Django/DjangoREST frameworks.)
What are some good tutorials/resources/most commonly used plugins etc. to start with?
Honestly, just get a template and you should be fine. Just don't pirate them.

Here's a good tutorial but it comes with a watermark in the footer.php. Just remove the watermark in the php file and you should be fine.

I appreciate the advice and link. Your cool. Your the best.

You're the dude who posted here a while ago asking how to remove that watermark.

As for you OP, I would recommend looking into Wordpress Dev Kits which make building and setting up Wordpress much easier for custom work. A few that I use are:
Bones:

A super rad kick off point that is super minimally and well tagged. Great start point.
Sage:

Another great starter point that has a ton of useful tools already added.
I would also look into something called Timber which uses Twig for PHP dev. Helps a ton templating and what not.

Thank you very much for the response, I'll make sure to check out and play around with those tools.
Currently consuming this:

And planning on quickly skimming through this:

just so I have some overview of how things fundamentally work in WP.
