Career Advice after Tech Layoffs

[Matt Cruz]

Hi,

I'm looking for some career advice after I was recently affected by the tech layoffs and lost a 6 figure salary. I have a degree in Information Systems from a great university and don't doubt I could find another job, although I have other career paths I'm interested in exploring such as Real Estate and Fitness. I don't know exactly what to ask here, but I'm wondering if I sound crazy for not wanting to jump right back into tech where I could have a solid W-2 which I know is important given I was aiming to get my first house hack started this fall. I'm considering getting my real estate license and exploring any data driven or tech related roles I could find. Any advice for what that might look like or if my line of thinking makes sense? Thanks in advance!
