You really have no idea.  2009 was mild for SV.<p>The dotcom bust per-capita was worse than the autoindustry layoffs in the 80s.  I lived through it.  It was very hard, and some people I know were out of jobs for 2 years.  Our company had half a dozen layoffs in 12 months and we shrank by 50%.  If 2016 is half of what 2001 was, then most new grads won&#x27;t get jobs.
