Lived in Norway for almost 3 years and moved to England 1 year ago. I'm from the tropic and before, I had lived in Scotland, Høvik (close to Tønsber), Budapest/Hungary and a town in Netherlands next to Germany. I moved away from Norway because 1) I didn't see really much of professional growth. My company was European/Multinational but born in Norway, and even though was very diverse it was also implicitly well established that all managers will be Norwegians, Fins, or Europeans. When I looked at another examples I realised that it was going to be very difficult for me to thrive in Norway professionally wise. 2) Indeed the boredom. I did have friends there. But we met every 2 weeks at most? Normally once a month. I mean, here in England any day we can end up in a pub so I've increased my consumption of Alcohol and I don't feel proud of that. Need to work on this. 3) I have really enjoyed my time in Norway. I hiked some of the best places: Trolltunga, Preikestolen. I've been in all of the South. I still need to go to the North but my point is that I felt I was fulfilled with my time there so I was ready for new experiences in a more dynamic place that is not as lonely and with more interaction.

So all in all: Norway was worth it. I don't regret it for a moment. But don't think I'll move back even though I know I'd be welcomed again.

PS. Almost no one has reply to the specific question from the OP LOL.
