What other departments can non-managerial IT grunts transfer to?

Occasionally read stories in job-related subs about employees transferring to other departments within their employer.

They usually don't say what they did and where they're going, but presumably the employee had skills that the receiving department manager felt could easily transfer to that department.

Off the top of my head, sales to marketing and vice versa could be a natural transition. Design to sales perhaps.

I've been in IT operations for over 20 years, from office, to government to (currently) industrial manufacturing. I can't really think of any departments - at least within my company - that I'd be suited for. And at this point, I'm not starting over.

Coming into IT perhaps, but leaving; I guess myself I'm feeling pigeon-holed. Don't really care as I like what I do, but seeing doom and gloom in the job markets has made me wonder just how marketable I can be if the IT sector totally fell to shit.

What are you doing for your technology legacy?

Recently made a post on a personal finance sub asking for suggestions on how to make sure my family can get what I’ve worked for in that regards in the event of my death.

someone mentioned my social media accounts which I don’t have, but I know stuff like Amazon and Netflix passwords can go where the rest of the accounts are listed. The kids’ PSN and Nintendo accounts. Our ISP account details too.

Someone else mentioned all my photos which then got me thinking about my entire homelab. 25 years of photos and home videos are stored on a NAS. I setup and maintain this, have a web app to search and browse them. Our centralized KODI setup to access our stored media. Our VOIP system for the kids to talk to Grandma. All stuff I’ve setup and maintained

To them it’s just computers and boxes with lights in the basement, but they represent memories, entertainment and communication. I’d want them to continue to enjoy and utilize them after Im gone.

Anyone else attempt to handle this?

Best way to get your surviving family access to what you've worked for?

That post earlier about the person diagnosed with max 5 years to live got me thinking.

45 years old, married, 3 kids, 14 and under. I'm relatively healthy, but anything can happen of course.

I have about 15 years of service in a DB pension plan, plus approaching 6 figures total in a group split RRSP and Defined Contribution pensions. 4xSalary ADD Life insurance through my employer

My beneficiaries are set up, but how can I make sure they have all the information they need to get what they should.

Thinking something like a secure document somewhere, listing what I have and where, logins, etc?

Seriously, who brought the PT Cruiser?

There's actually a second red one behind it.

Pay seems a bit low for what they want, but it could probably be suitable for someone just retired and is now extremely bored, or some eager younger person who wants to make an impact.

A reunion 13 real-life years in the making (not sure in-universe). Great, earned moment. Not much needed to be said, so they wisely kept the dialog to a minimum.

I know Tokyo Drift is high on many fans' lists.

Edit. We'll also have to see how the reunion of Giselle and Han is handled, but I still don't think it'll be as emotional as this one.

The cops probably wouldn't share too many details about the investigation with Harry, but he would probably figure out police are investigating something about street racing. So the cops do their job, he could be impacted.

Then Dom wants Brian fired, and Harry has to plead with him and lie to him to keep Brian on- a guy he knows is responsible for a lot of his business and is a good enough customer to get a $15K+ tab.

And then even if/when the focus of the investigation results in the arrest of Hector, Tran, or Dom (or anyone), it might become known that Harry worked with the police, making him a narc in that world.

My chief guess is tax evasion simply from his "they want what he has, and they pay in cash" line.

Yeah I know, it's not that kind of movie.
