While many of us saw it coming, the crash was still a big shock. Startups falling like dominoes, confusion, stress, and uncertainty. The biggest memory, for me at least, was the number of layoffs/redundancies in my circle. More than a few people I know were out of work for months, some for almost a year. A few were lucky - a woman I knew started a new job just as her severance payment ran out. Others moved away from working in tech.
