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

Three companies in Nashville 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. Which areas are hiring?

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

A short certificate helped me more than a new degree would have. Check what local colleges offer.
