Though, getting a job means you passed a series of technical and coding interviews, which by itself needs preparation, general computer science knowledge, and more than one programming languages. Luckily you will be introduced and study many such concepts (data structures, algorithms, operating systems) within the courses and you will become comfortable learning more languages along the way. The biggest benefit you are going to have, in my opinion, is that you will acquire exceptional programming skills, which is not that common for languages like C++. This will boost your candidate profile and make your interview prep easier; with all the projects you will have to show off to employers. I don't know about your math background, but you need to understand functions and basic math to understand the problems. Hight school level should be enough, or something like Calc 1 in a standard American university. You need the very basics. As for the algorithms, the math are super simple, but the logic can be challenging, until you get it. Then it's gonna be a game. Perhaps an algorithms book might come in handy. Try "Introduction to Algorithms" by C.L.R.S. if you want extra readings.I would suggest you to attempt the first level and see how it goes. If you find it challenging mathematically, you should spend some time reviewing functions and linear algebra operations. Some early calculus might be helpful later on, but you won't be asked to solve any math equations. You will be given these equations and asked to code them as is.Hope this helps. One final thought: developers already are and will continue to be in the future in very high demand. Learning the ins and outs of C++, one of the most difficult languages out there, will be tremendously helpful for you if you choose to go down that path, regardless if you get a job as a C++ engineer or as a general software developer.</blockquote>
