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

Three companies in Denver cut staff in the same month. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Who has switched fields?

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

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