As I recall, talented people were still paid well in 2002, it was just not as hard to find them.
Also, the "dot com bubble" makes it sound like it happened all of the sudden. Lots of smart people thought things were fishy by 1998. By 2000 everyone was convinced. Just because some people are talking bubble now doesn't mean things are going to fall apart next month. Make hay while the sun shines. And be careful about car leases and mortgages.
- cothomps 12y agoIt seems that by the time a career path / financial instrument is widely talked about as a "lifestyle", it's time to get out. 1999: "The dot-com lifestyle", everyone is an HTML/Flash developer. 2005: Flipping houses, adjustable mortgages - Mini Donald Trumps abound. 2015 seems to be lining up to be an energy industry crash.
