A correction in the tech industry has been due for a while now since most of these tech companies have been producing fuck all other than mountains of debt for the past decade, with most of their employees being corporate welfare queens that soak up stimulus money, all so the GDP and employment figures can look good (the same goes for most of the "professional/business services" sector). As soon as the credit spigot closes, these companies can't stay afloat and have to layoff a large portion of their employees. Which is happening right now with the big tech companies laying off tens of thousands let alone smaller companies.
Besides the money it isn't worth being in this field anyway. Tech companies are no longer run by nerds, hardly been that way since the late 90s but since the early 2010s it has been completely taken over by normalfags. In my CS classes half were normies in it for the money and other half were spergy guys who wanted to make video games. Only a handful were genuine computer nerds.
Even if you jump through all the hoops needed to get a koding job, you'll probably be dealing with some Java abomination where 90% of the code is OOP boilerplate and you have to dig through 50 layers of abstraction to get to the part that's actually doing something. You'll be ordered around by corporate suits who've never touched code in their life, while working with h1b pajeets and diversity hires.
And the field is saturated as fuck because on top of the salary inflation "learn to code" is the go-to advice for anyone who lacks any marketable skills, which includes a lot of incels due to having worthless parents and teachers and being a shut-in/NEET for so long. But coding itself is no longer a valuable skill on its own. It's just another way of getting work done that spans almost every industry in existence. From here on I think learning to code will only be valuable as a secondary skillset. Like being able to do networking, CNC, robotics or something like that and being able to code on top of it. Otherwise don't bother with coding, there are plenty of other options out there.
