Obviously also anecdotal, but I live in the Valley and I don't know a single person in tech who lost their job during the recession.

Everybody just put their heads down and kept working. Nobody was recruiting, nobody was switching jobs, nobody was quitting. I know OF people who lost jobs in related fields; sales, marketing, etc, but not in technical fields.

Obviously people did lose tech jobs, I'm just saying it wasn't like a techpocalypse.
