Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?

Question for those in "tech" cities. I am in Northern VA and view this area as a potential tech destination of the future as FAANG moves towards servicing the federal govt (see HQ2).

There already seems to be a severe shortage of talent here in NoVa so I'm wondering what to expect 3-5 years out.
