Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? - what worked for you?

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a web developer. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have transferable skills but no direct experience elsewhere. 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.
