Title:

What Do I Do With Myself, Now that the Economy Has Collapsed?

Your vote:
Level:
Beginner
Type:
Panel
Category:
Business / Entrepreneurial
Presenter:
Lane Becker, Get Satisfaction, Inc.
Description:
They say the tech economy ebbs and flows on a 7 year cycle, and if that's true, we're just about over the peak and into the down cycle for companies and employees alike. So what are we to do with ourselves, when it all comes crashing down around us? This panel's been through a downturn or two and will have some specific recommendations about how to get the most out of it, both personally and professionally.

How tempted am I to suggest what we can do with ourselves? Great idea, Lane, and sadly, very relevant...

Great idea. Rule 1: Don't be smug with folks today because you'll be asking them for a job next year.

Scrape together the last few bucks and go down to Texas and party like its 1999?

Not sure we have enough data on the cycles of the "tech economy" to make accurate predictions, but that's just one of the things we can discuss, here.

Great idea to get together and talk over the options though, Lane.
Do it today!
