Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? after 5 years as an IT help-desk technician

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as an IT help-desk technician. It has been weighing on me all week. I am open to a pay cut if the field is stable. How did you choose?

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