Nah, as someone who popped into the industry around 2k, a bunch of people bounced out of IT never to return either during or shortly after 2000. To me, its felt a little frothy since ~2010 but this is clearly a subjective approximation. I'm sure a historical compensation chart will show when salaries started to grow precipitous and with them those keen for big wages followed.
- ghaff 3y agoAround 2010 is about the right date. Things had picked back up in tech by 2005/6 approximately but, by then, as you say a fair number of people had just left the industry or never entered it. And, of course, the great recession was not that far in the future. I was laid off right after 9/11 and I was very lucky that someone I knew who owned a very small company was still doing OK and they hired me; certainly I wasn't getting so much as a nibble anywhere else. (They did end up struggling but I was still there for a decently long time, albeit at an unexceptional salary.)
