What kind of work do you want to do? I assume since you got a PhD in AI, you would like to be an AI scientist who does AI research in industry. I think a lot of the posts are aimed more at software engineers, but it may not be applicable if you are hoping to keep doing AI work in industry at the PhD/researcher level. That said, a lot of the big companies have frozen hiring in AI along with a lot of unicorns who focused on AI but haven't been profitable. Some of my own PhD students who are graduating soon are worried, but they have been able to get interviews at non-FAANG companies for doing AI research. There are a lot of faculty openings for AI, and while they are competitive, it isn't nearly as competitive in the past if you have been productive during your PhD. You would have to wait until Fall 2023 to apply for them, so you would have to do a postdoc or something like that for a year. I think money is going to flow into AI start-ups doing foundation models and generative AI, so if your AI-related work is in that space, you could be well positioned. It would be potentially risky if you are not a US citizen due to visa issues.
