Were you around during the 2001 bust? It was surreal. I had a BBQ at my house and had ~75 attendees... all tech workers. of the ~75 people there, ~3 had jobs.

Were you around during the 2001 bust? It was surreal. I had a BBQ at my house and had ~75 attendees... all tech workers. of the ~75 people there, ~3 had jobs. I was out of work for 18 months during that period. Luckily I had a background in Animation and Architecture to fall back on and got a job designing tech companies when the crisis lifted. 2008 was worse though.
