I was under the impression that one would need C++ to get one of those 400k+ FAANG jobs. Obviously, I could be wrong. I've never worked at one myself, but they do hit me up from time to time, and seem to be mostly interested in my C++ experience. As I said in my disclaimer, my actual experience is very dated at this point, but a strong C++ developer could earn 400k+ even way back in 2011 in the NYC financial industry. Back then, I don't think I'd heard of any Python developers making much more than 150k. Nowadays, the people I know working in C++ in NYC finance are all making significantly more than 400k.
