There are a large number of people, namely on HN, that have never known anything other than $120K+ compensation, constant stream of offers for changing jobs, all while working from their home and doing about 4 hours of real work a day.
I don't think a recession is necessarily coming, but a reversion to the mean is going to leave these people obliterated.
