It's a bit of a dilemma if we are talking about landing a job here.

With C++ you'll have more offers, but you are more likely to be unsatisfied with your job: in large corps you'll usually have to untangle lots of messy legacy codes; while in start-ups things are more likely to be done quick and dirty and the flexibility C++ provides doesn't make it any better.

With Rust unless you are in the US, it's gonna be extremely difficult for you to find an opportunity; even in the US I gather there are not many chances and I _guess_ recruiters would expect higher proficiency as Rust is known for its steep learning curve.
