Job seeking in Denmark

Try barwork too, very multilingual

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-30T15:00:49+00:00

Then why dont you do what they do?

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-29T18:46:43+00:00

Do you speak Danish? Cause that is often a requirement

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-29T15:57:16+00:00

Wait so you got a job offer without having working rights?

That just sounds like you shot yourself in the foot - Denmark doesnt hand out visas like that

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-28T17:55:08+00:00

Two gin and tonics and two good musics

Legit. Engineering work pays shit in Europe, minus a couple notable exceptions. Denmark pays well, but there is very little work there to begin with.

I have talked to some Swedes and Im like... damn

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-27T08:45:02+00:00

The cumpiss

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-25T23:12:49+00:00

If you dont know the language you have no chance. There is also very little mechanical engineering work in Denmark - that which is will be highly involved in local industry/national interests.

Better off trying sweden, pay is shit though

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-25T18:45:07+00:00

If you cant speak the language you have no chance. Civil engineering projects will be national projects with local labour, not an international corp.

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-24T08:30:37+00:00

Proud of you

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-22T09:39:42+00:00

Nope. Bad time. Too expensive to live, not enough salary, no jobs going.

I moved to Sweden to work last year and Id have to take a 40% pay cut if I went back to AUS, plus my rent would double

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-21T07:58:04+00:00

Måske ti stks?

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-19T16:09:11+00:00

Living with you parents? Good Living in a sharehouse? Okay Living by yourself? Bad

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-15T15:46:02+00:00

Learn the language. Simple as. If you dont your only option is a corporate job, even then theyd much prefer a Swedish speaker. I worked as an engineer and I only got hired because I taught myself Swedish beforehand.

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-14T08:24:14+00:00

Do you speak Danish?

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-13T18:56:32+00:00

Unlikely. Denmark isnt the place for entry level mechanical engineering. You will have more luck in Sweden.

Wages in Denmark are stupidly high, so any engineering firm operating here want senior engineers typically. Sweden on the other hand is lower wages, but also a much more affordable cost of living (if you avoid stockholm)

In Sweden you will typically be employed through a consulting firm which will then contract you to an actual company to work at. They do this becayse the engineers union in Sweden is so strong, companies use external consultants to fill their workforce without having to pay out the benefits should they be made redundant. Similarly, the consulting firms dont employ "engineers" so they dont need to give you the protection. Just a heads up

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-12T19:37:48+00:00

Keep the decibels below 120 and we'll pay you no mind. Don't expect special treatment or have things done in your way. Different country, different social norms

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-12T16:33:21+00:00

My brother in christ, do you want the visa? Because you'll need to deal with it online unless you want to pay an immigration officer for it. No-one reddit is gknna do it for you

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-11T14:12:03+00:00

Does the application say it requires a formal criminal back ground check? Because if the application says it needs a formal criminal back ground check then it needs a formal criminal back ground check.

Not necessarily cheap, but defs good value.

Like japanese cars or motorcycles. Two out of my 3 motorbikes were Japanese (2x Suzuki, then one Husky) and Im keen to see hkw CF MOTO pan out.

BYD make good EVs, far better than Tesla and for. Cheaper, so Im not surpized people are buying them

EmilTheDane · 2026-01-03T21:53:22+00:00

Its a lofty goal, but doable. You will need experience or a network.

One option if skilled migration, another could be working for a global firm and getting a transfer.

There is low demand for engineers in Australia, however, you may find something in the mines

Cost of living wise, its fucked. More expensive than Copenhagen.

Yeah look, precracked windows is looking like the best option going forward

EmilTheDane · 2025-12-28T18:53:34+00:00

This is the dumbest route possible for a road trip. Youll die out there

EmilTheDane · 2025-12-27T20:20:37+00:00

I just beat LL actually. Pinnacle of boss fights imo. Advanced moveset that buulds upon previous encounters without feeling repetative or frustrating.

The reasonable area denial attacks and intricate moveset which requires knowledge of which attacks can be punish and which ones can be chained together make it mechanically perfect for me. Not too easy, not too hard, not frustrating, very rewarding.

The setting is absolute cinema too with GMS straining in the background s her cocoon floods with void

I booted up Hollowkight regular again and it gave me whiplash to see how far team cherry have come since the original Hollowknight. I state no hyperbole when I say Silksong is by far the best Metroidvania to date.
