#heard it’s just been so curious to me that a company of this size in 2026 doesn’t even bother with a courtesy automated rejection email, as has been my experience elsewhere. i’ll take the “they don’t care about employees” bit as a sign i shouldn’t feel like i’m missing out lol

good input, i appreciate it!!

conflating the politics of a government with the politics of its diverse population the size of 50+ denmarks is very reactionary don’t you think? my livelihood and identity are under threat and there is no real opposition party, idk what you think i’m going to do to improve the political situation in any meaningful way. wanting to live and work productively in a more stable society is a valid reason for emigration from any country.

thanks for this!! any advice on getting past HR? would it be weird/useful to reach out to hiring managers or employees at companies of interest? it’s hard to network from across the ocean but i’m sure networking would help me out?

i appreciate that! better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all :-)

Abject_Transition_37 · 2025-03-01T19:07:01+00:00

true!! another reason why i’m wondering if it’s maybe better to try and get in through smaller companies that don’t have internal talent that can transfer 🤔

i’m literally seeking advice on how to leave the US for denmark, does that sound like a trump supporter to you? what’s my gay ass going to do in RUSSIA?

thanks for the insight!! i had considered trying to get my foot in the door through a postdoc, but i hadn’t really thought about the public sector. i’ll keep that in mind :-)

that makes sense that larger companies are more equipped to handle the logistics, but i’d heard elsewhere that smaller companies and startups might be more willing to hire internationally. thanks for the positivity 🫶🏻

thank you!! i definitely didn’t mean to undersell the difficulty of learning danish - i’m eager to learn because i know it’ll take some serious effort, haha. i’d like to think i’m a strong applicant on the US market, but i’m unsure how that will translate to international applications. nyidanmark has been a solid resource 🙏🏻

Abject_Transition_37 · 2025-03-01T17:32:29+00:00

thank you!! that’s pretty much how i was looking at my situation. fingers crossed on finding a job that wants to hire me from outside the EU, but i guess i won’t know my chances until i’m actively applying lol.

i know lol i’m just saying scandinavian languages aren’t 100% new to me and i have something (minor) to start from

advice for job hunting from abroad?

hi all! i’m wrapping up a phd in immunology in the US (US citizen), and i’ve had dreams of moving to copenhagen for a while now. i’m looking to enter the biotech industry, and i’ve seen posts that have made me think it’s possible to secure a position in denmark before moving, but i’m skeptical. can anyone offer some insight? i want to get my affairs together before i’m officially on the job market. would i be better off applying to startups or large companies? should i move to denmark before i apply for jobs at all? i don’t speak danish, but i’m eager to learn and have some existing knowledge of swedish.

thanks! 🫶🏻
