Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? - 5 months and counting

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a software tester. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I am open to a pay cut if the field is stable. Who has switched fields?

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

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