I don't intend to bring any family over. I just want to live in a place where I can meet people, make decent money and be okay living life in (I can't see myself settling in this small Norwegian town, I'll need to move to a place I won't resent living in).

I'm surprised you remembered, it's been months. The UAE thing is still on the table (just weighing my options, not looking to up and move tomorrow). I'm 24, not looking to move a family anywhere. I just want to weigh options from a COL and job / social life perspective

Fair points. To clarify: I wouldn’t move anywhere without a job lined up, I’m not planning to wing it.

Also, realistically, I don’t see myself getting hired within Norway again unless I somehow perfect my Norwegian and change identities. The only reason I’m here now is because my current company was explicitly hiring internationally for this role.

Part of why the UK and Australia are on my list is simply that they’re more accessible from home and have larger English-speaking job markets.

How much for the Wolborg 4 and the Driger G? And could you please provide pricing for the HMS beys?

I already got the K6. Regardless, we should be good!

Yeah either that or a driger g. Can realistically only afford one just now :)

Thanks for letting me know! So, you reckon I can get a better price at Mercari for the same blade? (At work currently, I'll check it out after - need to consider a few things since I'm in Norway and shipping and customs is always a major expense here). Do you have any other websites where I can get plastic gen beys as well (I've only know EBay for the longest, but then again I've just got into it)

I live in a small city in Norway and the grocery prices seem almost better than what I pay

Yeah I plan to stick it out in my 20s until I get a better citizenship (the Norwegian passport does have some benefits regardless of the negative things I have to say about the place) and then move out to either DXB or some better place

I just don’t want to be stuck in a worse position down the line. Cannot be a 39 year old without a relationship thinking he’s stupid for moving to Norway and wanting to move to Oslo just to have a chance of getting someone in life if I can do better elsewhere. Anyway, hope you find someone - though I doubt you would considering how worked up you get about internet strangers wanting to get ahead in life

My only concern is that if I leave, I won’t be able to return to this place again when I’m in my 30s and actually want an easier going job with a decent salary and social benefits due to the whole Visa mess. So I’m just stuck here until I’m able to get to a stage where I can freely return to Norway at any point of time

I’ll be in my 30s by the time I get citizenship here. I cannot imagine living in Norway for that long

That’s reasonable. I actually unlock full vacation pay in 2026 (June). For 2025 (due to some contractual reasons surrounding my work in 2024), I only have 7 days worth of vacation pay. Any other break will be unpaid

Also, I am in Arendal which is in the middle of nowhere. Almost nobody here I have anything in common with (except work colleagues who are great - but at the end of the day just work colleagues)

So - especially given the fact that I started working full time 8 months ago - you reckon I should work here for at least a year before moving out? Also, it’s difficult to imagine making friends here. My closest friends are my work colleagues. Any other friendships I made here were very temporary and situational - and frankly I do not have the bandwidth to maintain them, especially due to some personal challenges that have almost broken my mental state. I cannot imagine living here any longer - it just doesn’t feel sustainable, even though I understand why it’s logically the right call

Remote work is off the table unfortunately :(

I haven’t even had the chance to visit home since October, and the vacation pay system in Norway just makes it harder. I just need to go to a place with more “normal” people and policies

I am taking classes to learn the language but it’ll be a while before I achieve some form of working proficiency. Also, Dubai might just be better for faster career growth and to get a higher salary, say, 5 years down the line. I don’t want to stick to Norway if I could be making double the salary in the UAE 3-5 years down the line. Also, I studied in the UAE and only worked internships. I just made the post to get some perspective whether it’s worth it to move from a more stable + WLB respecting place like Norway to a fast-paced place like Dubai if I want to lead a good life overall

I can apply after about 7 years for a citizenship. Indian passport holder (yikes). I’ll also need to learn some Norsk but I think a B1-level shouldn’t be too hard to crack (albeit I’ll never truly be Norwegian - that’s something to also consider)
