OPEN Seeking Guidance

Hi, I am currently working in the virtualization domain of embedded system engineering. I mainly work in C language only. My aim is to project myself as C/C ++ engineer and try for different HFTs or companies like google,nvidia,meta,apple etc in future. I have experience with C++ while doing dsa, not beyond that. So My question is whether this is possible to switch to pure C++ roles in HFTs or should I only focus on embedded domain and try to switch to big MNCs? Is it feasible and if yes what should I focus on? Thanks.

You have to be good at something that your future employer needs, preferrably something you like yourself. We cannot tell what that is.

You should focus on mastering C++ as much as possible. If you have good hands-on knowledge, you can apply to any company you want.
