I never found C++ to be particularly painful. The thing about C# is it stores arrays in different memory order than C++ for multidimensional arrays, IIRC so yes, making them work together would require a copy.
A better way to do it (and I'd probably have to see how feasible this is as I haven't tried DirectX coding in years) though would be to let the unmanaged code pass you arrays in different memory order, and in the C# code just account for it. Your indices would need to be translated. Easiest thing i can think of is to just map everything as a 1d "flat" array using interop, and then do the math of of y*totalX+x or vice versa to translate.

compilation is superslow, intellisense doesn't work very well...
when I do C++ these days, I mostly C++/CX or C++/WinRT with a dash of either DirectX or, obviously, WinAPI.
I cant remember very well, it has been a while. But many time I keenly thought to myself, now I am switching to C++. And I always give up. Not because of the syntax, but because the development environment in C++ seems less comfortable than in C#.
Bear in mind that most my toy app at home are GUI app...
Maybe simple console app or service app are fin in C++, but I always found GUI app development in C++ much more tedious than it should...
And also, since I want perfect C# interop, that adds extra tediousness...

I feel the same way you do about GUI dev in C++. I've learned to hack my way through MFC but it's horrible. WTL is better but has crap for designer support.

That sums up my experience with VS Code.
I feel like a total idiot every time I fire it up and can't work out how to build and launch something stupid simple like a webpage or quick app.
Visual Studio has spoiled me. Though so has XCode. And Android Studio.
It seems I'm truly the only one in the world who gets red in the face swearing at VS Code to just work dammit
cheers

Ha well yes, it doesn't just work...
But it doesn't take too much work to make a surprising amount of dev tools (unsupported by VS) to work as well!  
But yeah, every now and then when I start to use VSCode for a few weeks I start with a how is this thing even working?!

There are several places that speak very well of it. But a couple of revisions in Steam said it is good only at the beginning, afterwards it reduces all to boring grind. And when you think you have everything... then a new map to start all over again just with other stats that force you continue grinding.
But 95% of people say the story is very funny.

It's frustrating that job sites allow you to search by job title, but there is no accommodation made for searching by technology.
Does anyone know of a job site that supports this?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

But if you could "search by tags" or similar, you know that most of the jobs will have every single language, framework, stack, etc. ever created tagged anyway. With twenty years' experience required of course.

I know you are correct. But I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Don't have a good answer to your direct question but...
I suggest you get a premium LinkedIn account and set it to looking for a job. you will get inundated with job offers.
A very helpful passive job searching tool.
I also think there are more direct job search tools as well through LinkedIn, but I have never needed those.
I got my current job via LinkedIn. They found me, I did not find them.
I have had Microsoft, Amazon, etc. reach out to me through LinkedIn, for job offers, as well as not so well known companies local and abroad.

In Central Europe the web "monster" was pretty used. I have used it in the past and they had a nice search, like looking for "automation", "robotic" or things like that. The results were nicely accurated but there were false positives all along the list too.
I don't know if you will have it in your area, or if it is still that accurated as it was. My last job was recommended by a ex-co-worker that was contacted by a firm just after having signed for another work and he forwarded me the email. I activelly contacted my current job.
