Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot?

Three companies in Cincinnati cut staff in the same month. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I am open to a pay cut if the field is stable. Which areas are hiring?

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

Talk to people in the field you are considering. Two coffee chats changed my mind about one option.
