Do I file 1040 or 1040-NR

I arrived in USA as F1 in 2021-01-02. Until 2022-12-31 I was a F1.
Then I become OPT on 2023-01-01 to September 2023. For the rest of 2023, I was on H1B. I now want to just clarify my understanding on whether I should file 1040 or 1040-NR for the tax year 2023. 
I was looking into this page-4 in https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p519.pdf - which gives me an idea that I am a resident alien because-
criteria 1:  31 days during 2023; - YES
criteria 2: 183 days during the 3-year period that includes 2023, 2022, and 2021, counting:
       a. All the days you were present in 2023,
       b. 1/3 of the days you were present in 2022, and
       c. 1/6 of the days you were present in 2021.
Sum of a b and c is definitely 183 days.

I believe I can file 1040 right? Can someone tell me if my understanding here is correct?

Yes, your understanding is correct.  You will file Form 1040 this year because you meet the criteria outlined in the subtantial presence test and are considered a tax resident.  Keep in mind this requires you to report all of your worldwide income.
