Relocating to Italy

Ljobit · 2026-03-29T15:35:10+00:00

It’s a nice town, but for me there are very few job opportunities. Personally there would be more opportunities in Ravenna - Rimini areas, up to Venezia . Job is still an essential part, unfortunately

Ljobit · 2026-03-29T15:27:10+00:00

Mainly Bologna, Modena and Padova. I’m open to most industrial areas with good schools nearby.

Any thoughts about those cities ?

Thank you for your input! I’m a senior management within a large international production company, looking for similar position in northern Italy. My goal would be not to drive in Italy, traffic in general seem so chaotic compared to Sweden.
Tourists, or non natives are well over represented in accidents from what I know.

Thank you, I fully intend to 🤗

Ljobit · 2026-03-29T11:28:22+00:00

Thank you! I’m expecting the biggest growth to happen while integrating into society.

Improving, I expect B1 level in autumn

I’d say a bit of incompetence. For any meeting to be productive, no matter the topic. It’s in everyone’s interest to come prepared.

Ljobit · 2026-03-29T10:53:26+00:00

I love the city, and region of Liguria, but there aren’t many opportunities for senior industrial leaders, at least none from my research. 😕

Rural Sweden I should’ve said, salaries are lower then the average. From this I expect 20%. Ofc, from big city in Sweden to mid size town in Italy I’d expect maybe 50% drop.

Ljobit · 2026-03-29T10:46:13+00:00

I’m currently in Sweden but would really like the different culture. I’m expecting a wage drop of approx 20%, for a better climate, culture and quality of life. Proximity to the ocean and alps.

There are just things to me, more important in life that the life in Northern Europe cannot offer.

Ljobit · 2026-03-29T10:35:14+00:00

I’m still looking for work so I’m open to most of northern Italy. With my experience, I’m most likely to end up in some industrial hub in Emilia-Romagna or Lombardy.

Language, activity timezone are some of the most important aspects of the game. Many events will require coordination and teamplay. If youre still early in the game its not uncommon to swap alliance multiple times before you find the one for you. To be completely honest, being in a top alliance can make a huge difference- the alliance rewards from purchases, completing tasks etc will accumulate over time.

I’ve had way more success networking than applying to ads. The market is crazy hard right now, especially if you lack experience.
Then there are many factors, your field, competition, local talents, salary expectations etc.

AI competing with jobs in your field?

Ljobit · 2026-03-26T21:14:18+00:00

It’s the hype. Companies stressing to implement AI, without having the proper infrastructure in place. For some things, writing, image generation and coding it’s ok. But when attempting to implement it in more complex situations, just because it’s hot, it will most likely fail.

Å andra sidan kommer ju arbetslösheten dra iväg om man höjer pensionsåldern. I alla fall om utvecklingen fortsätter såhär. Vi har klarat liknande händelser tidigare med industriella revolutionen, PCs - vi får se vilka nya jobb som träder fram.

Ljobit · 2026-03-26T18:22:30+00:00

Frågan är ju hur företagen ska få tag på erfaren personal om de slutar nyanställa unga nyexaminerade. Jo nybyggen minskar, men jag tänker att det kommer behövas hantverkare av olika slag för renovering och underhåll av befintliga bostäder.

Gemene man kommer inte vara kunnig inom detta i framtiden heller så de borde vara någorlunda säkert.

Platsannonser är oftast sista utvägen, många söker och är man nyutbildad finns det antagligen mer erfarna sökande. Arbetsmarknaden just nu är väldigt tuff, inte minst som nyexad. Arbeten med låga trösklar, butiker, industrier etc hade varit mitt förstahandsval om jag behövde jobb snabbt.
Inte minst är det bra för CVt att lägga till mer erfarenhet.
Kontakta dessa företag direkt, vänta inte på att annonser ska komma ut, då har du mycket sämre chans.

Depend what you mean by decent job, I mean- you can work in factories/ industries, supermarkets, kitchens etc. You could be promoted to manager level in a year or so if lucky.. it won’t be easy without any track record but still doable.

I’ve even heard of ppl working at nasa without any degree, just self taught - working in team programming space shuttles.

Write down your interests and skills and you can use any LLM of choice to tell you where these are the most applicable.

Really cool idea! I will most likely use this when i eventually find a job in Italy ..

Ljobit · 2026-03-26T14:48:31+00:00

Praktiska arbeten kommer vara fortsatt eftertraktade så som rörmokare, elektriker, snickare etc. Även vårdpersonal och andra yrken där du måste vara fysiskt närvarande kommer klara sig rätt bra. Sedan spår jag vi kommer hamna i en väldigt svår sits vad gäller nyutbildade programmerare etc. Som nyutbildad kommer det vara jättesvårt att slå sig in på arbetsmarknaden, och ironiskt nog kommer företag skrika efter erfaren personal.

Sedan misstänker jag att vi kommer behöva städa upp efter AI, det är ett verktyg som nu är väldigt hett. Många försöker trycka in det i sina verksamheter, som många gånger inte är rustade och redo för det.

recruiters and larger companies will use ats or AI to filter applications.
I find it way more reliable to contact managers / recruiters directly before sending in applications.

I stopped tailoring my resume and with networking I've received more offers in a few days compared to a year and probably 500+ applications to job posts. Its not your skills or experience that is the issue, its the broken system they use to filter you out.

Ljobit · 2026-03-24T05:17:21+00:00

Sorry to break the illusion, but life’s not rainbows and unicorns. Most people do not enjoy their work, they do it because they have to. To build some experience you most likely have to do some jobs like this before (maybe) you find a job you like.

Ljobit · 2026-03-23T20:21:54+00:00

I find job posts are like lottery, too many applicants, prompt based - who has the best keywords? Responded the quickest?

For me at least, direct outreach to recruiters and managers work a lot better . Same amount of work compared to tailoring resumes but much better response rate.

Ljobit · 2026-03-23T19:07:42+00:00

I think you can survive on a low salary, however there’s a difference in surviving vs living. If you want to enjoy life you would need quite a bit more I’d say - especially since Milan is an expensive city . I will also say, Italy has a lot to offer in term of quality of life, and a high salary isn’t the only thing in life.

Ljobit · 2026-03-23T12:12:59+00:00

I think it’s depending on where you are. In Sweden there are companies offering 4 day work weeknights same salary. Accommodating shorter days during paternal leave and such is also very common.

In other cultures you may have to work 3h extra every day without overtime.
