C++ / Java

Hey guys, I am now in a turning point in my career. Last 7 years I was working for a company as programmer, and I was working till now in C++. Then I have decided to leave it and try in other companies. search went well and I got offer in 2 companies.. Company 1 : It is leader in their technology, its a new domain for me, but that is okay with me. and the company review is good. The team seems pretty good. The programming language in which I have to work is again C++, in which I am pretty comfortable Company 2: It is a bigger organization. Technology is hot, salary is better than the other one. Company review is even better. But I have to work in Java. Do programming languages really matters? Should I reject company 2 only because of the programming language?

Are both companies in same same domain (i.e. do they do the same "thing") ? Choose the company product that you feel will be more fun to work on (and has a better future).
I'd rather be phishing!

Well yes, because every programming language (source code) must be compiled. C++ code can't be compiled unless you're having a C++ compiler and same for Java. So the company where you will be working with Java, either needs to install a C++ compiler (which has a 99% chance of a negative response from the Boss) or you need to work with Java which would be working great. Since the salary is great, you shouldn't worry about a new language. :-) It's much a like!

Personally, I prefer C++, but the product and the working environment count for more than either the language or the salary. If you can code in C, you'll learn Java reasonably easily, but it's not quite so easy going the other way.

Absolutely! You cannot program C++ like JAVA, and vice versa. The syntax is similar, the constructs for building the classes are similar, and most of your abstract knowledge that you have gained over the years for how to design good software will carry over. Beyond that, there are subtleties that make the language different, and therefore make it more suitable for other types of solutions that C++. I've worked with JAVA programmers that have moved into C++ jobs and done less than stellar. I'm a C++ programmer to the core, and when I've been assigned JAVA tasks I felt clumsy because the code I was working in was structure differently that I was used to with C++. I always felt that there were better ways to do things than what I was able to hammer out in my short 3 month tasks. I have felt the same way when assigned short C# tasks. I felt that the solution I ended up with, would look as clumsy to a JAVA or C# programmer as a C++ program written by a C programmer looks to me. Each language is a tool, and it is very convenient that they all have similar syntaxes. However, they are all best suited to solve different problems and you should prepare to change how you design and articulate your solution in the new language. I cannot say which job to choose. JAVA is definitely higher in demand and typically pays a bit more than C++ right now. It never hurts to have a different skill set. I like money, but unless you're talking a number that is like 20% greater, I would consider the job that I think I would enjoy the most. If you conclude that you would be happier with the job that pays 20% more, even better. Good luck with your decision.

I think the market share of Java and C# each outnumbers C++ 3 to 1. So if you are prepared to work with all three languages, you are multiplying your options with a factor of 7! I don't know if you'll benefit from having more options, but that's just how the math works out. If you stick with the same old, then you may regret it later; but then again, maybe not!
