I am a Product Manager (US Remote) that was laid off in January. I absolutely love Product Management and I can't picture doing any other work. Unfortunately with the fact I can't get a job over the past 6 months I am coming to the realization I may have to give up on trying to get a job back in Product.

WHAT DO I DO? I don't even know what other industries/jobs I should look at. I have experience at Medtronic, UHG and a healthtech software company.. What jobs are even in demand?
