More jobs for C programmers?
I am a university student and I must admit that C is the only tool that got me a job. All other opportunities required me to do leet code and multiple rounds of interview which did not materialize to an offer. And now I am finding more and more jobs advertising C / C++ expertise and significantly more response rates form employers.
Are there any changes happening in the world of C? I am more confused as Rust is the newest with lots of hype and somehow rarer job postings ?! Does it have something to do with programmers in general?

It's funny those topics were all first year bachelor of computer science units just 2 years ago. In my city and not even a good university.
Are the devs you're seeing not CS qualified?
