SM Job prospects in 2-3 years (serious)

I’m here for whatever speculation you want to throw out. Nobody has a crystal ball but give it your best shot.

My rationale: 2-3 years from now when I graduate from HBS it will be a perfect time to get an SM HF job especially if I want to do tech and consumer. Most recessions aren’t that long and I don’t count on runaway inflation. Multiples will be low with 5-7 of expansion ahead if history does in fact rhyme with itself. I mean median cloud SaaS multiples are at like 2015 levels with fundamentals as good as ever.
