Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot?, teaching assistant here

Three companies in Columbus cut staff in the same month. I am in Columbus, in case local advice matters. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Which areas are hiring?

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 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
