So far in my search, C# leans toward Microsoft shops seeking C#/.NET whereas C/C++ has been companies searching for embedded software roles.

Mostly agree, but I've also seen a fair bit of C/C++ skills associated with jobs involving *nix development environments. I've rarely seen C++ associated with embedded jobs (even though I've read that it can certainly be used if care is taken to avoid things like dynamic dispatch, etc)

C++ is very big in finance and game development.

C++ is used in avionics.
