My prediction is that the tech industry will be resilient over time but getting a job in tech will get harder and harder. In the golden years of the web (early 2000s), all you needed was some experience and "passion" to get hired. These days, outside of specialized positions, getting a regular ol' CRUD job requires Leetcode and experience matters much less. Combine this with the fact that you are now competing with an ever-growing global talent pool, most of whom have masters/Phds and don't mind working 24/7, you can see where this trend is going.
