Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? - 26 weeks in

Three companies in St. Louis cut staff in the same month. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. How did you choose?

I moved into operations work. The skills carried over and there were more openings than in my old field.

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