Maybe. There aren't a whole lot of companies who need chip designers (well, who are hiring chip designers; I imagine one could make the case that there are companies out there could do a better job with it).
The curse of being in a small industry (in terms of companies, not revenue). On the other hand, with AMD having a good couple years and multiple companies flirting with RISC-V, right now might be one of the better opportunities to find such a job.
AMD I am worried about, should they not embrace RISC-V, which so far they haven't shown signs of.
They could show up with a RISC-V for a new socket AM6, called Zen7, with x86 acceleration: An actual x86 mode to support legacy applications during the transition to the best and industry standard ISA.
Or they could, alternatively, fall into irrelevance on the CPU side. Which would be a waste.
