Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? - first time posting

Three companies in Milwaukee cut staff in the same month. It has been a long 17 weeks. I am open to a pay cut if the field is stable. Which areas are hiring?

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

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