Dotcom crash was a whole different level, with super senior architects and other extremely experienced people lining up around the block for entry level positions.
For a while I was running the whole IT and software development of a biotech company for 10 bucks an hour. while my peers went on to be manager at Best Buy shift to other non-tech related roles.

Fortunately, I almost immediately landed a similar (but better job), albeit with a pay cut--and there were some lean times for a few years once the tech recession hit my new company in force. But I had started looking around elsewhere as well and there was nothing that I found. I lot of people I knew ended up exiting the industry and no small number of them ever really got back on track with their careers.
