My last gig before retiring a year ago was with a South Korean AI company that was all-in on Common Lisp, but after I retired someone there told me that they transitioned to Python. Still, if you love the language, just keep looking for CL jobs. Horribly off topic, but: now that I am retired I thought that I would do all my experimental programming in Common Lisp and Racket, but in reality I am spending half my coding time using Python because of the ML, DL, and large language model tooling.

Also I don't think your OT remark is OT at all - it sort of demonstrates which domains have actual traction nowadays and why.
