I create a custom post type like this:

add_action( 'init', function() {
    $args = array(
        'description'           => '',
        'public'                => false,
        'publicly_queryable'    => false,
        'show_ui'               => true,
        'show_in_rest'          => false,
        'rest_base'             => '',
        'has_archive'           => false,
        'show_in_menu'          => true,
        'exclude_from_search'   => false,
        'capability_type'       => 'post',
        'map_meta_cap'          => true,
        'hierarchical'          => false,
        'rewrite'               => array(
                                        'slug'              => 'job',
                                        'with_front'        => false
                                ),
        'query_var'             => true,
        'supports'              => array(
                                        'title'
                                    ),
        'label'                 => 'Jobs',
        'labels'                => array(
                                        'name'              => 'Jobs',
                                        'singular_name'     => 'Job',
                                        'menu_name'         => 'Jobs',
                                        'all_items'         => 'All Jobs',
                                        'add_new_item'      => 'Add New Job',
                                        'new_item'          => 'New Job',
                                        'edit_item'         => 'Edit Job',
                                        'view_item'         => 'View Job',
                                        'featured_image'    => 'Job Photo'
                                    ),
    );

    register_post_type( 'job', $args );
} );

You can see I have public and publicly_queryable set to false.

However, when I create a new post or update it, it says "Post updated. View post" where "View post" is a link to the post. This post is not public so it should not have a "View post" link. How can I stop it from adding this link to the updated message?

to customise messages on edit page, you can use this filter :

add_filter("post_updated_messages", function ($messages) {

    $post_type = "job";

    if ($post_type === $GLOBALS["post_type"]) {

        $messages[$post_type] = [
            1 => "the object is updated",
            6 => "the object is created",
        ];

    }

    return $messages;

});
