If it says "C/C++", it means they don't even know what they want, and might even be satisfied with a cave-dwelling C coder.

The highest-paid programming jobs are mainly held by C++ programmers, many of them in service of financial gambling. That work shades over into FPGA and HPC programming at the high end. A skilled C++ programmer at these shops can get a half $million, some more.

Yeah, job adverts (and resumes) with "C/C++" usually seem like they are reading off MS VisualStudio marketing and imo a clown indicator. I've seen this with jobs which were really C# or Java (or maybe even VB). Top C++ programmers are highly compensated and only unemployed when they want to be.

You are certainly acquaited with it.

It has been literally decades since I last encountered it. In any case the title has exactly nothing to do with job listings or what may be inferred from them.

Ok, lets get job listings then, from companies whose staff seat at ISO C++.

So, you are saying that clueless HR people are employed at such very large companies as NVidia, Microsoft, Google, Apple, IBM, AMD, and ARM? I'll bet you can find cigarette smokers working in them, too. And Russian Empire sympathizers.

If you ever had a point, you lost it some time ago.
