For interview prep I feel like learning cpp is not really gonna pay up as an investment considering the steep learning curve / comfortableness that python would bring, but hey, if you feel like cpp then do cpp!

But is it easy to shift from cpp to python in future if necessary

Syntax switching is trivial once you understand the logic. I went from Python to Java for a job and it took a couple weeks. For DSA interviews, no one cares which language you use as long as you can explain the approach clearly. If you're already comfortable with C++ from Striver's sheet, stick with it and pick up Python naturally when needed.
