I’ve been wondering, what happened to people who went through the dotcom bubble and burst? Did they find work elsewhere, switch careers, start their own businesses, or something else entirely?
The tech market is in a tough spot right now, and I’m curious if there are any takeaways from the last major tech bubble and burst. I’m thinking about how people adapted and moved forward during that time.
Did some people transition to different industries, or did they find ways to make it work in the tech space? Were there any surprises or unexpected opportunities that arose from the ashes of the dotcom bubble?
I’d love to hear from anyone who lived through that time and has some insights to share. What did you do, and what did you learn from the experience?
For those of us navigating the current tech market, it’s interesting to consider how people coped with the last big downturn. Did they take time off, pursue freelance or consulting work, or look for jobs in other fields?
Whatever the strategies were, I think there’s value in exploring what worked and what didn’t during that time. Who knows, we might just find some useful lessons for navigating our own uncertain tech landscape.
