Is it safe to use the error handling features of C++ with Rcpp?
If you use these error handling features, it does leave things in memory. I believe it’s only for objects you have allocated from c++, so may not be a big deal. For example, here’s where I noticed it in readr, which is presumably fixed now that they use rcpp11 https://github.com/tidyverse/readr/issues/757

[Career] Strong Mathematics Background, Limited "Technical" Background
The big skills gap you have is in practical data exploration and transformation, which will be a large part of any data-centric role. As much as people may have distaste for it, there is no avoiding data manipulation as critical foundational enabler of all inferential and predictive modeling work. SQL is the lingua franca here and well worth picking up the basics (joins, window functions, handling dates and times, etc.), plus learning how to implement similar transformations in R and Python. With appropriately transformed data, you then need to be able to visualize it effectively using tools like Tableau or ggplot2 in R. I would not necessarily seek courses or certificates in it but expect to be evaluated on them in technical interview screenings, so self-study accordingly. R for Data Science by Hadley Wickham is a great free resource for these topics for R.
