That's excellent advice! With so much experience, do you think I would be crazy attempting to move. Perhaps I should look into a newer low level language.

I notice there's a lot of finance work in C++. Do you expect this trend to continue?

You're welcome. C++ will continue to be strong in finance for low latency high vol stuff like HFT. Also for quant numerical stuff. If you've got a maths or physics degree that's the way to go. New lang? Wish I had time to learn Rust...
