I've seen so many jobs like this... that's why I'm so stubborn about C++ being the dominating language. If you look at big companies like apple or microsoft, they list C++ as a MUST, but Java as a PLUS. I just went into these companies just now to confirm this... you can check yourself. 
Edit: What languages do you work with? Seems like your in the industry already... |
Ah cool...yeah, I haven't had the pleasure of job-hunting yet (thankfully). I'm jus' a student as well working with a full-time internship during the summer and part-time with school.
I get to use Java primarily with the project I'm working with, which is web-related, but also a fair amount of C for the back-end stuff, and I've seen a few things coded with C++, but haven't got the pleasure of dealing with them directly.
It's definitely a fun, fast-paced job. And as far as learning Java...when you know the basics of C++, it's amazingly easy. Especially if you let Eclipse warn you about the obvious problems. :rolleyes:
