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

Our sector has been shrinking and I am unsure if I should wait it out. There are 8 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. How did you choose?

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

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