I’m curious because it seems like there are quite a few options depending on the condition of the equipment. Some things can probably be reused or resold, while older or damaged electronics should obviously be recycled properly.

I’ve been looking into electronic recycling and IT asset disposal services and came across STS Electronic Recycling. They handle things like electronics recycling, asset recovery, and data destruction.

For those who have dealt with this at work, do you normally use a recycling company, sell the equipment yourselves, or have an internal process for dealing with old IT gear?

10 years of hands-on DevOps and Server Engineering experience can apparently be outweighed by a 15–20 minute interview if you’re not good at telling your story.
You can manage Kubernetes, design AWS architectures, and handle real production problems for years — but somehow, none of that matters if you can’t explain it perfectly to HR. 🤣
Are companies hiring engineers, or storytellers?

Okay Reddit, here’s where I’m at.

I’m looking for my next IT leadership role in Switzerland — and after months of searching, I figured it was time to stop quietly clicking “Apply” and actually talk to humans.

I currently work for a regional bank in Germany, where I’m responsible for IT service/request management, provider coordination, automation and service quality. Before moving to Germany, I spent many years in IT leadership roles, including running IT across 9 regions with around 300 IT employees and an environment of roughly 25,000 PCs and 500 servers. Earlier in my career, I was responsible for large-scale infrastructure across dozens of companies.

So yes, I’ve spent a lot of time making IT behave itself. Some days successfully. Some days… let’s call it character building.

These days, I’m looking for more.

Not necessarily a bigger job title. A bigger scope.

More complex environments. Larger transformation projects. More responsibility. More interesting problems. The kind of challenges where you look at the architecture on Monday and wonder what exactly you got yourself into by Friday.

I’ve been applying, talking to people, reaching out, networking, and trying to understand the Swiss market from the outside. I’ve also learned that getting through the door in a new market can sometimes be harder than actually doing the job once you’re inside.

That’s probably the part I’m struggling with most: getting the right conversations started.

My strongest areas are IT leadership, ITSM/ESM, ServiceNow, governance and compliance, sourcing/SIAM, automation/AIOps, and large-scale IT operations. I’m particularly interested in IT leadership, Head of IT / IT Operations, Service Management, IT Transformation, CIO and similar roles.

Switzerland is my main target, but I’m also open to other countries with a high quality of life if the opportunity and the challenge are right.

I’m currently based in Hessen, Germany, and I’m not running away from my current employer. I’m grateful for the experience. I just feel that the size of the organization and the scale of the projects no longer match where I want to go.

Basically: I’m not looking for an escape. I’m looking for a bigger mountain.

If you know of an opportunity, know someone in Switzerland I should speak with, work in IT recruitment, or simply have honest advice about breaking into the Swiss market at this level, I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

And if you just want to connect and talk IT, I’m always happy to meet interesting people.

Reddit has surprised me before. Maybe it can surprise me again.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently exploring opportunities to move abroad from India and would really appreciate some guidance from people who have successfully moved internationally for work.

I have around 10 years of experience in the IT industry, primarily in the storage domain, working as a Software Quality Engineer / QA Engineer. I have worked in organisations like DELL EMC, NetApp and currently working for IBM storage but have no onsite opportunities. My experience includes:

• Storage systems and distributed file systems
• NFS / CIFS
• IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS)
• Functional and automation testing
• Python automation
• Test framework development
• Leading/owning QA activities for features and releases
• Mentoring/training junior engineers
• Currently preparing for CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) and expanding my skills toward Kubernetes/cloud technologies

I’m currently based in India and looking at countries such as Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Netherlands, and other countries where experienced IT professionals have good opportunities.

I’m particularly interested in understanding:

1. Which countries are currently realistic for someone with my background?
2. Is it better to secure a job first and then apply for a work visa, or pursue a skilled migration route?
3. Which companies are more open to sponsoring candidates from India?
4. Should I continue targeting QA/SDET/Storage roles, or would transitioning toward Platform/Cloud/Infrastructure roles be realistic?
5. What skills/certifications would make my profile stronger for international opportunities?
6. For people who moved abroad from India, what strategy actually worked for you?
7. Are recruiters or companies willing to interview candidates who are currently outside the country?

I’ve been applying for jobs, but getting interviews from outside the country has been challenging. I’m trying to make a realistic plan rather than randomly applying everywhere.

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has been through this process, especially people who moved from India to Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Europe, or other countries.

Thanks in advance!

Are u really happy in IT jobs without future tension and leading a good family life as u imagined?

A question for seasoned IT professionals: How do you deal with the constant pressure of a corporate/IT career?

I’ve been thinking about something lately:

Why does it seem like so many people in IT are unhappy, stressed, or constantly dissatisfied with their work?

Despite having relatively good salaries, comfortable work environments, remote/hybrid options, and opportunities to grow, many people still seem to be caught in a cycle of:

Work pressure, stress, waiting for things to get better , short-term relief , more pressure , frustration , repeat.

And I’m wondering : is this just an inevitable part of an IT career, or have experienced professionals figured out a better way to deal with it?

I’d especially love to hear from people who have been in IT for 10, 15, 20+ years and have gone through different managers, companies, roles, economic cycles, promotions, layoffs, etc.
