I'm a little older but I have found it strange how well economic crisis has been almost wiped from our collective memories

it was a horrible period and I have many friends who are in the same boat especially those not in software

It’s because the site is chalk full of millennials who jumped on the “I was an office assistant making $40k and I did a bootcamp and now make 200k” at the right place at just the right time.

They’re convinced they’ll time the next grift right. Who knows

I think it is wiped from memories because it very specifically affected one or two years of college graduates (that had the experience the parent comment mentioned). Not an entire generation. The data shows millennials as a whole are better off than boomers were at their age.
