Having “spent some time in the job market lately”, the salaries seem astronomical if you’re C++ and fintech/HFT. I think some funny business is going on with those listings though…

Kinda average in game development and sadly pretty low in embedded systems.

All way less common than your average Python position, but probably way more interesting.

I'm not sure if you're in this field specifically, but since you mentioned it I'll ask. Is it your impression that fintech and HFT shops would possibly start to transition to Rust?

I've always heard that they're currently mostly using C++ (and sometimes Java). But I'm not sure how dogmatic or change-averse they are on average.
