For some extra context, I have been applying every ML research engineer/scientist job that would take a new grad. I don't have any sense for what a hiring manager wants, it's especially hard with all the layoffs, I'm sure plenty of people are applying for the same research engineer positions. I certainly consider myself to be strong at coding. I've done a couple coding challenges on hackerrank that I do well on. But I have not been lucky at getting a phone interview yet. (I do have a personal website and CV)

Sounds like you need to network more, get the lay of the land of what’s being expected. Remind yourself that while you’re not at the vanguard you’re still cream of the crop; phd tends to sap out social skills and hence for many of us finding the first job is the most daunting thing possibly in all our lives. Slog through and after that it’ll be fun sailing for the most part.
