> Wondering how the displaced engineers will impact the rest of the job market

That dream of making local (San Francisco) pay while living wherever you want will quickly evaporate.

I survived as a software engineer through the dot-com crash. This isn't even a crash, this is just seems like a minor correction to "normal" for most of these companies with head-counts through the roof.

But SV salaries were abnormal, and that should be taken into account. There are a lot of us, doing a lot of the same stuff, for a lot less pay out there.

Why? For all sorts of various reasons. And this is now rapidly taking into account the entire globe.
