Yes I've seen quite a high demand for C++ guys in New York and Chicago as well as other places. That's really the heart of my question - should I stick to that or move into the newer technologies you mentioned like node.js/python? I have learned a good amount of both though no real work experience in them. Also you mention games, well I worked in the games industry for 4 years when I was younger! Did my time, enjoyed it, but won't go back now :) I am completely unsuited to large enterprises. I started out my career that way and hated it. Recently went back to a large corporation job and only lasted 6 weeks before I had to quit. I guess my original post wasn't so clear either. I have no problem getting requests for interviews and the like, get loads every day. My issue is making the choice of where to focus my career. Do I get back into C++ to earn some good money doing something I already know? Do I truly commit to new web tech and join a smaller startup? Or something different like freelance while working on (yet another) business? I'm tired of trying to make this choice because there are so many pros and cons for each! I understand no-one can do it for me but it's nice to get other peoples views. Thanks again.
