Friends

I have been working in the BFSI domain over 6 yrs . My current project of 4.5 yrs uses various technologies like Front End in Struts+ Spring , Middleware in C++ and backend in Pro*C , Oracle 10g. I was mainly responsible for C++ development from the scratch and as my experience grew , handled Front End Modules developed in Struts + Spring and Ajax .
Now on my resume for this project I have used both C++ and Java technologies . When a company approaches me they mainly call me for C++ interviews.
I dont want to stick to a perticular technology for long and want utilize my java skills as well.
What is required is they need to look at both C++ and java skills not just a one technology.
Please provide your inputs on how companies look at when I have used both C++ and Java technologies.
Thanks
Amit

Don't have a good answer here -- as I have seen both sides of this issue.

In my case, I worked on many projects that require many languages (and technologies). Hence, I value experience that span many languages and technologies. However, I have also worked with some shops that is very focused on particular technologies, and don't seem to value anything outside of its technology stack.

What you wrote is correct. However with 6+ yrs of exp , I do get interview calls mostly for a role of a Technical lead / project lead .
I personally feel that having worked on two very good Object Oriented languages , it should give me a broader vision.
Big companies companies wont have much issues with Java + C++ experience and that too in the same project.
However those companies that just concerntrate on a single technologies that may just concentrate on a single technology .
Thanks for your comment.
