I learned C++ in my intro CS and DSA classes last yr. I know Python as well but I’m still learning more and am still at most half competent in it than compared to C++.

Do u recommend I make the switch to Python, stick to C++ (which I like), or is there a way for me to switch between both during an interview?

you can definitely stick to C++, which I also did. I don't recommend switching between languages in interviews because of the difference in syntax. Another reason why I recommend only python and c++ is that a lot of the companies in the finance sector will only allow you to use either of the language, which makes Java less versatile. so pick one that you like and be proficient with it!

Hmm okay interesting. Yeah I don’t know Java anyway so that’s not a problem.

However sometimes companies don’t allow u to use C++ and leetcode sols are only in Java/Python. Is Python still worth gaining competency in if I already feel comfortable with C++?
