You can (re)learn proper C (along with basic data structures and algorithms) with something like Harvard's CS50 and then some modern C++ with Stanford's CS 106L. After that you continue casually with the excellent "Back to Basics" videos of the CppCon Youtube channel. As for jobs, that really depends on your background.
I've had cs50 in my bookmarks forever, I think I probably know all of that. And just always underestimated my skill.i was so put off by web dev and constantly flooded with Indian recruiters pushing shit web dev jobs and then ghosting me I quit the whole industry after some horrible freelance experience. I'll take a gander at those links, thanks. What kind of jobs should I actually look for, I have no idea what really exists, I'm really trying to land something remote? I casually do Arduino coding as well, love those embedded things like esp8266. Ai and ml might be interesting, but I have zero focus on anything and can't seem to go s direction
What background do you have? It will help to narrow things down a bit.
