There's always a range of experiences. Most of the people I know did ok through the .com bust and are still in tech. Some people had millions on paper and didn't sell and held on to it and not only was it worth zilch they also owed taxes but many really made millions. Pretty much anyone that had a job in FAANG or similar companies did really well from 2001 to today - a lot of people. Tech grew like crazy and took a lot of people with it for the ride.

Certainly the last 15 years in particular have been very good for a lot of people in tech even if they didn't hit a big jackpot in FAANG or wherever. I had a pretty ordinary tech industry job in that period and it set me up better than my whole prior career did.
