Current data scientist here, working for a cloud consulting firm. Two things stand out from my experience: (1) my company isn't hiring, while the DS team is doing fine revenue wise, the rest of the company is doing poorly; so uncommunicated moratorium on hiring; (2) I interviewed at an AI company that I'm currently subcontracting under - and they like me - and I didn't get past the first round because their requirements are so high right now (aka I did mediocrely on one interview and that was enough to tank me).All this is to say, GenAI is booming but there's competing factors going on for businesses to hire.
Also a different take, look for contract jobs. As with (1) above, my company isn't hiring FT but they're open to contractors.
I wish you luck.
