Thank you, I'll keep this in mind when I'm actively applying for positions regardless of the path I take.

Hey, thanks for sharing your background. It does sound like we're in a similar situation and although you're still looking for an opportunity to switch over to C++ development, it is still motivating to hear someone else is striving for a similar goal. The projects you've worked on in C++ sound interesting and I think if you were capable of creating them when you were younger and had less professional programming experience under your belt, there isn't any reason you can't create some amazing projects now if you set your mind to it. I would assume employers would want recent C++ examples/projects, but if you can retrieve some of your old work, it wouldn't hurt to add them on GitHub for someone to look over. Hopefully we can both get some good advice on this thread. :)
