A chart with a line going way up is about all it takes when optimism is abundant. However, there is good reason to think that this bull run is over, and the chance of finding a greater fool in the IPO is diminishing. As the IPO exit loses its luster, it's going to trickle down all the way down the VC chain to angel funding.

As it becomes harder and harder to acquire funding and these blockbuster valuations, how is that going to affect the job market in the tech industry? Right now it seems like the flood gates are open for most people that have studied computer science, software engineering, and related fields.

I imagine it will get a bit more competitive for a time, but not by much. The demand for those fields is growing in every industry, not just in startups.
