How proficient you should be in R and Python?

I've seen a lot of people in the finance realm adding R and Python as skill sets in their resume. Me being a finance graduate, am taking a few classes on the same from MOOCS. So how proficient should one be in these languages to add them on their resume?

If you cant model market volatility with a LSTM neural network don't list it.

In all seriousness, it really doesn't matter. As long as you can speak intelligently about projects you've done, you're good
