Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot?

Three companies in Seattle cut staff in the same month. I worked as an IT help-desk technician before this. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Who has switched fields?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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