Comment on Six-figures out of school – or, warning signs a bubble is about to burst

Comments

I remember the New York Times employment section in the newspaper between 1996-1999.

There were absolutely silly $ numbers being thrown around.

IIRC(apologies if my memory is incorrect), ads for IT jobs seemed to fit two major themes:

1) Y2K work, often COBOL 2) Web 1.0/UNIX/HTML

And(again IIRC) the published $ in some cases then, may not be out of line with today.
