Many tech interviews I have gone through had asked about my Python background and how strong it is.
I think you will have an easier time learning Python, too.
depends on what you are going to do
low latency HFT....C++ high level analysis - python
Depends on the goal. If you want to analyze data Python will do, it has many visualization, stats and ml libraries. If you want to build strategy execution parts C++ is the way to go, also serious trading platforms like Trading Technologies provide only C++ api's.
Depends on what you want to work on. Like other people on this thread say C++ good for applications where performance is the priority. If you want to make any kernel level software you need C++. Python is used a lot for analyzing data. It's going to be even more prevalent in the coming years because of its use in AI and neural networks. There are a few well known open source AI frameworks written in Python such as TensorFlow. Myself, I write web applications in Ruby for a living but if I had the time I would pick up Python because I am interested in playing with machine learning.
