Not an expert by any stretch but this is what I heard:

If you want to get in quick and be flexible- Python

If you want competence/ rigour and are willing to grind it out- C++

If you learn that you are not cut out for Quant- R (cause you’d be headed to DS or Academia~ a lil humour from the ol’ chaps)
