Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? - 14 months and counting

Three companies in Albuquerque cut staff in the same month. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I am open to a pay cut if the field is stable. How did you choose?

Look at job postings to see which skills repeat, then fill the gap. That gave me a direction.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
