Depends on where you work at in the stack, but normally yes higher level languages are everywhere and assembly is very uncommon. I've only had to code in assembly once in my career, and it was for a very specific piece of equipment to do an overly specialized 200% performance optimization that the C++ compiler wasn't intelligent enough to do for an overly specialized use case for that CPU.
