I like C++ too, but as someone who works in the industry, it seems like you can't stick to older things for too long.  There are many teams who have moved to other languages in place of C++ and have been doing so for a long time.  For desktop software on Windows, where C++ used to often be used, it seems to me that C# is often a preferred language now.  Also, while not C++, the Linux kernel has historically been written in C, but recently I've heard they've been starting to code with Rust for the Linux kernel.  I still see some software developer jobs with C++ and C, but not a whole lot these days.
