You will have a unique experience. One thing I learned through the dot-com days was that there were wildly different experiences. I struggled to find employment but after a lot of hustling finally found one as was surprised that most of the people I worked with barely knew there was a problem. They continued to have employment and all they knew is they got up in the morning, went to work and got the same paycheck they always did. It was like musical chairs. As long as you had a chair you were fine. If you didn't have one when the music stopped you were devastated.
I was in NYC during the 2008-9 financial crisis and did my best to make sure I always had a chair but here's the difficult part, people can give you tons of advice on what to do but you don't usually have many options available to you. You pick the best option you've got an go with that. It's all you can do.
We all know something big has happened but I don't think anyone can say what that thing is. It's going to be complex and defy and single explanation. I think the most you can say is that there is a great deal more uncertainty in the world than there was before and a great deal more randomness.
Outstanding people will be destroyed and unworthy people will find great opportunities and there wont be any more reason than just because. That will probably make you feel very uncomfortable.
Do the best you can and persevere.
