If the tech/ anything bubble pops, what tech companies would be the best to work for preceding this event? Which industries that employ tech workers would be the best to work in preceding the bubble? This under the assumption that getting a software dev job would become increasingly difficult with a rise in unemployment in this sector. I'm a junior developer, so if there became a huge oversupply of developers I think it would be very hard for me to get a new job. This is actually something that really worries me currently. I'm already having a hard time finding a new job, if there was another economic crisis I feel like I would have to leave the tech industry to get a job.

Junior developers do fine as long as they actually have coding skills and can demonstrate their work with a portfolio. Make sure you work somewhere where you can point to stuff you've shipped and you'll be fine. The folks who get tossed out of the tech industry in a recession are those who should never have been in it in the first place, i.e. the folks who heard it was easy money but don't actually enjoy programming or building things.
