A bit of personal anecdata: After the first bubble burst, I took a jib at $BIGCO for a slightly higher salary than I was making at the startup I was laid off from. $BIGCO was pretty stingy about raises and bonuses though during the bust, and I wound up leaving for another startup 4 years later with another slight salary bump.

Also after the burst, my roommate and I asked our landlord for a $700/mo rent reduction, and we actually got it.
