I don't remember 2001. But 2008 tech job market was way wayyy better than today.
reply2008 really wasn't that bad if you were in tech...
replyNo idea about 2001, but I've heard it was fairly rough. More recently I've seen people say now it's harder to find work today, I think in part because in 2001 it was mostly tech companies laying off talent, while corporates who were less impacted by the dot-com bubble were still building out their engineering teams.
I agree. It was still ok for most people in tech. Maybe rough for that single year. After that is was nothing but boom times.
replyI can't speak to 2001.
This feels like something much worse and weirder.
