Industry layoffs, what are people doing? - first time posting

Our sector has been shrinking and I am unsure if I should wait it out. I do not usually post, so bear with me. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Which areas are hiring?

Talk to people in the field you are considering. Two coffee chats changed my mind about one option.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
