It isn't that bad. Look at the Nasdaq after the dotcom bust:

2000 -36.84%

2001 -32.65%

2002 -37.58%

If you think now is bad imagine trying to get a job in 2002 in tech. Tech was deader than dead.

This is just a normal job market now. You went to college but you don't know shit or have any experience. It sucks but you have to grind and eventually opportunity will find you, you just have to not squander it when it does.

Opportunity will find you in ways and in things you won't even expect.

The reason you should not worry is because you are young and have all the time in the world. If it takes 5 years so what? I would gladly trade my account balances to be young and fresh out of college right now. Figuring out how to become not broke after college is the most fun game of your entire life. The more it wears on you and gets you down the better the payoff feels.

After 6 months of unemployment (with 4 years experience) I had to move to another city to find work and it was definitely a pay downgrade. As you remember not only did the dot bomb happen but shortly after: 9/11. This was also when outsourcing really started to take off. Prospects were certainly grim. Fortunately I landed a job with a codebase that needed a lot of help but was very cool. I learned a lot and proved to myself that I was a lot better than I thought I was.

Lol I'm not sure I ever felt that way. I wouldn't want to do that again in a million years. Certainly one of the most stressful times of my life.
