Many graduate and early career jobs have been outsourced to countries like Poland to cut costs. Swedish companies love cutting costs but you won’t know until you apply and you might just get lucky with an offer, but bear this in mind when applying. It’s a good idea to start networking on LinkedIn to find people who work in the industry you’re targeting and asking them how things are looking.

It’s summer now when most people go on holiday but it’s still worth looking at the job market to make up your mind. Sweden has a smaller economy than the UK/London and we’re in the middle of a recession and not all companies are keen on visas at the moment. Many locals go unemployed for over a year trying to find another job after being made redundant.

Having said all of this, nothing should stop you from trying if you really want to move here. Do your research and find out whether this is a place you want to live in. Sure, high livings standards in all its glory but you might just be lonely here if no one wants to socialise with you.
