Were engineers incredibly hard and expensive to hire immediately after the dotcom bust or the 2008 financial crisis?

That's actually a good data point I'd like to have. Unfortunately I wasn't in Silicon Valley at the time, but at least where I was, it didn't affect my opportunities of finding a job at all.

I was born and raised in silicon valley. It was pretty bad across the board. Tons of good programmers got killed including ones that were really solid.

Mind you the situation is different now so what you say could be right in a certain way.
