Non tech folks, is the recession and hiring freeze here?

Have been hunting for a job for a while. Non tech background and completed mba in 2022. Open to working in sales, marketing and no industry preference as such! I keep hearing news that some companies are hiring in bulk and some have hiring freeze. So is this the time to upskill into one of the trendy things or keep looking for a job ? Advise, experiences and informs about companies hiring is most welcome!
