[Interest] Qt Jobs?

[Jason H]

I can of course do Java and C#, and even C++/CLI, but when compared to my 10+ years showing 1 yr of C# doesn't make me a "C# developer"
I can talk your ear off about the .NET garbage collector vs the Python GC, but it is hard to have the recruiter understand and convince the client that my 1yr is a very thorough "one year".

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far.

Mine as well.  However, as a career-long C++ developer, it pains me to say that I think the days of being able to easily find a C/C++ job that has absolutely nothing to do with Java or .NET are gone.  In fact, if you want to be employed as quickly as possible (which it sounds like you need), I recommend you bear down on those two technologies right now, as that's pretty much the bulk of what's available anymore.

It also adds dimension to you as a developer to be proficient in multiple technologies (even though you may have far less passion for them), and makes you more attractive to potential employers.
