My first office job was in 1973 at a large insurance company - IBM 365 mainframes, punch card programming in COBAL and Fortran, changing to limited, primitive terminal input and output by 1978 or so. Went to a smaller company around 1980, got one of the first IBM PC’s in late 1981 or early 1982, whenever they were first available, VisiCalc them Lotus 123. Company pretty much followed the path you did - full PC shop switching to Microsoft office suite when it became available, except for communication and other creative types who used Apples, What a great time that was - everything changing, moving things from mainframes to PCs, creating new software that couldn’t exist on mainframes, and as a result creating new business models.
