I do think tech is more likely to “bounce back” than a lot of other industries. Like some people here are comparing it to extractive industries that never came back but I think demand for tech innovation is probably going to remain a lot more consistent (baring societal collapse) than demand for coal or timber or whatever.
I do think it will continue to be a less prestigious and well compensated field, as more people learn tech skills employers will have less need to lavish talent with high pay and job perks.
It may be cope.
