I graduated in 2007 at the top of the housing crash and a few months later the great recession. My first job as SWE out of college was making 50k in a small company.

What got me through is that I love coding and learning, specially as a new grad. In hindsight, these are the times when great things happen - we just cannot see them. It happened in 2000, 2008 and I hope it happens again. Don't get demoralized, keep going at it and remember why you got into this profession (hopefully not just for the money)
