Yeah dot com bust was much worse. I mean the market was over-inflated with flash developers with 6 months experience making $100k and sysadmins fresh out of their MCSE cert course making 80k. I joined a travel startup as the CTO when the dotcom bust was looking like it was coming in 99. 9/11 knocked us down for a little while but we built it back up and exited in a sale to Hotels.con. 08 was much better for me, I had a steady job with Marriott and tech skills where very much in demand. Dot com bust was a bad time to be out on the market the 08 crash was not.
