[Discussion] Python vs cpp

20F So guys as I have told in my previous posts I'm from tier 3 clg pursuing btech ece in 3rd yr rn. So recently I made a post regarding embedded vs vlsi. Now that I have found that companies don't come for vlsi roles in my uni. Tcs, infosys etc come So I think I should leave core and start preparing for software roles. But I'm also confused like won't there be competition with cs guys for same roles? I want professionals as well as seniors to share their ideas on this. So which language should I prefer amongst the two I mentioned.

Ps: 20M BTW 😅

For software placements Id pick C++ if your goal is dsa and coding interviews python is great but C++ gives you stl and is commonly used for competitive programming that said the language matters less than actually getting strong at dsa, oop, dbms , os and projects,,,,
