Career change after a layoff, where to begin? - first time posting

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. Any experience at all would help. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Has anyone made a similar move?

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 8 months.

Try a small project in the new field before committing. It told me a lot about whether I would enjoy it.
