Depending on the direction you want to go in your career, it's still a major need. Any complex or high-performance computing relies on C/C++ pretty heavily still. It's also a good tool to have in your box for building well-performing cross-platform native apps with Qt. I say this as one who's probably at the same stage as OP. Know some C, and reasonably comfortable with the basics. Application of C++ is a little more widespread outside of strict embedded environments, however. (Another space I personally want to immerse myself in)

Qt is about the last library I'd call modern in terms of C++ dialect it employs or requires... (There are worse but deprecated like MFC. Or on par like wxWidgets.)

  I suspect your intel on Qt's C++ use is a bit out of date. Qt nowadays uses (and requires) C++11, as well as more modern constructs.

    Qt may be inspired by modern C++, but you don't get hands on experience using the STL since Qt re-implements almost the entire thing.
