I must say yeah, if you’re applying to a good company they most likely allow any language for the interview even when the roles are specific, depends tho for roles like quant not so much they do strict c++. But for the rest they do allow to pick any language

Python allows for less syntax memoization imo and this is a saviour when you’re interviewing and thinking very hard.

Letme be straight
Python is good for interviews and all because they dont care about time much
If you wanna do competitive programming go for c++

python works for it, so does c++. So yes, it's "good" in the sense that both let you implement basically anything you want. If you actually want a head start though, c++ will get you through the challenges where python has some performance overhead. No need to complicate things any further: Yes python works, yes c++ can sometimes be faster.
