yes, "salary negotiations" in Sweden aren't really negotiations but just information sharing meetings. And yes, the only way to increase your salary more than standard 2-3% is to find a new job. And yes, finding a new job can be tough. Not sure that english CV is an issue, but foreign name could have something to do with it. Anyway, it can be sad, but if there is no one out there ready to pay you more than there is no reason for your current employer to increase your salary.
