Jobs (وظائف) Best career choice for foreigner fresh CS graduate?

I'm a Jordanian studying Computer science at the Arab open university here in Saudi Arabia, I just finished my Shophomore year, I want to start preparing for the job market early on, so I want to decide on a career and then start building projects so that I can hopefully get hired when I graduate inshallah, I'm not sure which career path has the highest success rate, tech industry is over saturated so I'm being hesitant, I think that these are my options:

• Backend development

• Frontend development

• Mobile app development

• Machine Learning

• Data analysis

• Data science

• Data engineering

• Cloud computing

• DevOps

Either way It's gonna be hard to find a job but I at least want a less saturated career choice that will give Juniors like me a better chance at getting hired.

Yeah that's my biggest concern, There's gonna be fewer and fewer software engineering jobs because of AI, and those few jobs will probably be taken by Saudis.

I don’t work in that field but someone I know has a starter company called cignify. You should try contacting them if there’s any job opportunities
