Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? (Dallas)

Our sector has been shrinking and I am unsure if I should wait it out. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have transferable skills but no direct experience elsewhere. How did you choose?

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

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