Comparing with 2008-2014(?) this is literally nothing. People are also way more resilient after surviving/witnessing it, COVID and now war in Europe. Anyway I believe late 20's/early 30's is the worst age to deal with a recession, specially if you happen to work in field correlated to economic growth (like architecture). At that time I lost everything (job, investments, fiancée, expat lifestyle and probably mental health). Were I older and more "established" (or younger and less accountable) everything could have been different. I didn't fully recover from that time yet. Most of my peers didn't too. Most likely we never will.
