I think that c++ is an horrendous collection of disgusting hacks. I also work as a c++ developer. If I were hiring for a c++ Dev role I wouldn't hire someone who cannot point out several problems with c++, as the main difficulty of the job is to avoid those tar pits.
C++ is the exception. You can't be senior without despising all the intricacies of the language.
Linus Torvalds is perhaps the perfect depiction of this.
Linus Torvalds doesn't program in C++ at all, only C.
