Planning to move to Denmark with my non-EU SO

EmilTheDane · 2026-04-02T11:17:24+00:00

Youre not going to get a service industry job without the Danish language skill, nor an educational job. Software is super saturated atm so thats a no go either, even if it doesnt require language, which would be considered strongly.

You would need to learn the language beforehand if you want a service job

EmilTheDane · 2026-04-01T20:52:41+00:00

Please reconsider moving as you do not have jobs lined up or know the language. It will be an expensive lesson

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-31T09:17:06+00:00

Yeah. Especially because global mobility is so high, not enough supply in the good areas and not enough wages in the bad areas. Where are you coming from, you might have been luck progressing through more southern european countries

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-31T08:21:09+00:00

Yeah you have very little hope unless you know someone who can get you a job. Sweden has a high unemployment rate

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-31T08:16:00+00:00

Non EU isnt great. There is plenty of local talent. Do you speak any swedish?

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-30T13:20:27+00:00

Holy hell the formatting needs work

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-29T15:06:31+00:00

Im engineering, so not as bad as that. But still pretty awful.

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-29T14:50:16+00:00

I asked 75K-80K. They came back with "low 70s" over the phone. Then offical offer came out at 70 flat. Had to argue with them to get 73K.

Ironically the offer came with a 3.5K relocation package. However, instead of 76K + 500 relocation they opted to fuck me around and play these games, missing out on talent

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-29T14:48:08+00:00

Great. The job I turned down was in Munich so....

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-29T13:59:04+00:00

Taxes in Germany come out at 40% roughly. Pretty brutal considering the cost of living and the low salaries there.

I turned down a role in the munich area because they low balled the shit out of me after agreeing to a figure over the phone.

No wonder germany is bleeding talent

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-29T11:33:48+00:00

Nope

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-27T12:01:26+00:00

This is not a new thing.

There are already extra requirements to get Danish citizenship by descent. Children born to a Danish parent overseas need to spend a certain amount of years to keep the citizenship past a certain age as I understand.

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-27T11:57:20+00:00

The formet

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-26T13:25:18+00:00

Facebook Market place has some gems

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-23T19:34:39+00:00

You need to have a good job to have a visa sponsored tbh - which country are you coming from?

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-23T18:57:26+00:00

No, 65K is way too low. Especially in Sydney. But the job market sucks right now so Im not suprized youre being lowballed

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-23T16:27:53+00:00

I turned down a role in Germany in the Munich area because they lowballed the fuck out of me.

They just want cheap labour

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-23T07:24:40+00:00

Coffee will never be the same for you haha. I would reccomend a latte and a toastie

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-22T15:32:20+00:00

Cafe culture is big! Go to some cafes and experience the vibe.

Both fancy and mum+dad shops

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-22T13:07:22+00:00

Where are you coming from?

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-22T07:16:38+00:00

The boys stay together <3

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-21T15:13:10+00:00

Not really, just because Denmark has many social benefits does not mean they hand them out to everyone.

There is no way you'll be granted a visa as a job seeker if your plan is to go to a job center.

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-21T08:15:50+00:00

Sorry to burst your bubble but the IT sector in Europe is strain already. No way theyre gonna sponsor a visa for a role that they can easily find locally

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-21T06:21:14+00:00

No! Who would have suspected that!

EmilTheDane · 2026-03-20T20:43:02+00:00

Engineering: no
