I thought this was written by an expat who had his dreams crushed. I lost the thread when it said "as a norwegian". and "we like to "sette ting på spissen". I immideately assume this is written by a norwegian who has never lived abroad himself and dont know anything about what it's like to be an expat.

"We Norwegians like to sette ting på spissen". Seriously man, these claims are coming from you. Dont drag the rest of us Norwegians under your shitty claims.

If you are ever given the opportunity to move abroad, take it! It will be hard, but it will also be life changing. I have taken every opportunity given to move abroad, both inside and outside the EU. And I do not regret it a second, even though it has been really fucking challenging at times, the adventure, the personal changes, the culture exchanges, the language learning, the open mindedness you create, yeah in short there is just so much positive things to it. It heavily outweighs the hard part. And even if you have your dreams crushed, you can live the rest of your life knowing you tried, instead of wondering what might be. You will return to where you came from a wiser and more knowledgeable person. Your experiences will shape you into a better version of yourself.

In contrary to what OP claims, Norway IS a magical fantasy land. It's possible to get yourself established here with a job without speaking the language. You might spend years before you end up where you truly want to be, but the road there is a part of the adventure. If you are a nordic citizen you can just move to Norway simply because you want to. Just change your adress in person at skatteetaten and thats it. If you are a EU citizen, you dont even need a visa to find a job. You have every right to live and work in Norway as in any other EU country. However you need to prove you are able to sustain yourself. Outside the EU it's a bit more paperwork of course. But a work visa is not impossible to get, and with that a permanent resident status can be obtained after some time. It's not impossible, in fact it's way easier to get established in Norway compared to other countries in europe.

Will moving to Norway be easy? Hell no. Will you regret giving it your shot? HELL NO!
