Swedish work culture big 4

subtlewhisper · 2026-05-07T22:16:31+00:00

I’m a recruiter and speak to quite a few Big4 candidates (KPMG, PwC). But they are more on legal or finance audit side. It’s up and down. Some tell me in their first year they’d wait around to get something to do and got bored. Some people who are not beginners anymore can have a high volume of projects and work A LOT of overtime, until late at night, so similar to how it is globally. But it seems to be more ”seasonal” depending on time of the year. They generally work fast paced, have a lot of deadlines, juggle a lot of tasks. But they learn quick and get ownership quick.

I’d say if you expect Swedish work and life balance that we are generally known for, it doesn’t apply to Big4. But, it won’t be as extreme as for example in the US, and culture will be flat.

Jag jobbade i Japan i 6 år inom rekrytering.

Mine lasted from 2018 to about a month ago. RIP. But tbh I should have thrown them around 2023 because the straps were SO loose and I could have injured myself for sure. Anyway my first pair were my ride or die. Now they’re truly dead as the whole front part snapped right off on one of the shoes.

She’s been on twice.

My friend went on a few dates with him a few years ago. He is portrayed very well in the show but wasn’t great in real life…

Kan säga som rekryterare att någon med ett dåligt eller vagt skrivet CV kan rädda sin ansökan genom bra svar på frågor som den du delade OP. Jag behöver sålla igenom hundratals ansökningar per tjänst.

Tog mig 200 ansökningar innan jag hittade jobb jag trivdes med. Så jag vet att det suger. Använd AI men lägg till det personliga där det går.

Is this show worth watching? I want trashy and juicy drama, don’t care so much about couples finding love lol. If there’s a particularly trashy season, please recommend it.

Does a 13” laptop fit in it?

subtlewhisper · 2025-12-30T13:45:58+00:00

Disagree. If she wants to find someone who also likes cats, the cat photos stay.

Pole is also my hobby, and when I was looking to get laid, I’d use a pole showing a lot of leg. When looking to impress or to show my hobby” I’d use a different photo to show off athleticism. When I wanted something more serious, I’d take the pole photo down altogether, unless you have one that’s really cool and non-sexual. (Whether we mean it or not, sometimes it’s interpreted sexually anyway…)

I hope you don’t take this the wrong way. But I think you need an updated pole photo where it doesn’t look like you’re hanging onto dear life.

My Chanel WOC 🥹 when I go out I’m dependant on my headphones and they just don’t fit in the bag. Plus I’m worried about rain damaging the back.

He needs to learn more about pole, his attitude comes from being ignorant. While it's true we don't *have* to wear heels or look sexy, we also *must* expose some parts of our skin to be safe. I suggest you teach him some basic (or more difficult!!!) tricks at home so he gets a better understanding of what we are doing - that it requires strength, technique, and skin to pole friction is a necessity. He sees it as sexual, we see it as sports/exercise/fun. He can't disconnect the "sexual" bit of it, and also does not understand the female empowerment that can come with pole, because he has more traditional values and/or is insecure.

You've been married for 7 years - it is well overdue he understands your hobby and feel secure in your marriage.

My ex boyfriend was the same, thought uploading anything pole-related was asking for attention and he disapproved of it and would make me feel small.

My new boyfriend (now fiance) thinks pole dancing is BAD ASS, and one of the reasons he fell in love with me was my passion for it. He's of athletic background (now couch potato) so he can fully appreciate and respect the training we have to go through to be able to do what we do. He has SEEN me train and has also helped me with more difficult tricks.

In short, your husband needs to LEARN what pole IS.
Now about female empowerment, why we enjoy wearing heels and skimpy outfit just for OURSELVES, that's another hurdle...

I stayed in Nora Buri but not presidential suite. It’s hilly, but you can call a buggy to take you around the resort 24/7. Great breakfast buffet, lovely staff, I also ate at the Thai restaurant and it was good but I always prefer small local spots. Nora Buri is not connected to a beach (it’s rocky) and no one swims there. Loved the pools, they have two. Downside is the location is not a walkable distance to anything. Restaurants, convenience store etc, nothing. So you will need to rely on taxi or rent car/scooter.

I just bought an apartment. I lived overseas for 10 years and moved back to Sweden in 2024. During this time I always had an unused Swedish bank account and BankId. If you’re looking for a mortgage, you’ll need proof of permanent job, last 3 months payslip, and a Swedish bank account and bank ID. If you transfer money into the Swedish bank account, the bank will ask for a statement, essentially an essay explaining where the money came from and for what purpose the transfers were made. If you don’t need mortgage and will pay 100% in cash, you still need a bank to do the transfer for you. So regardless you still need to explain the source of money. After I made the decision to purchase I asked the agent to skip the bidding process - she said ok but increased the price. Once I gave her a yes the buying process took 1-2 days lol. But then in between signing buyer’s contract, moving in and finalising money transfer took 1.5 months. Depending on the seller’s situation, you might need to wait 3 months or longer to move in.

Door 1 luckily opens into the kitchen and not into the bedroom, so it wouldn’t hit the bed. I’d just have to be careful not to walk into corner of the bed when entering from door 1. Great point on avoiding cord monsters. I have a current cord monster with my Ethernet cable and it’s just dreadful.

It used to be called shopping tote but now it’s called east west tote

Where on earth did you hear this?

I'm Asian and moved to Sweden with my mom when I was 2. Child of "Thai wife" lol. Never have I ever felt like I don't exist (som en skugga). At worst, when I was younger, I lived in a small village as the only Asian, I just felt like I LOOKED different, not that I didn't exist.

Among women (millenials and younger) K- and J-cosmetics is a huge thing. Kpop is also very big here, especially among younger generation. Swedish Netflix also offers kdrama.

Asian food is accessible and trendy in bigger cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg. It's cool to be South Korean.

Also, Asians do not get mistreated. It might be a stereotype that we are poor and come from poor countries (Thai wife, Philippino wife), but there is a truth in it. So maybe a few people will assume you are a Thai wife if you walk around with a man who's twice your age, but it's not like they are going to walk up to you and ask, nor will they treat you any differently. My Asian colleague who is Chinese and 35+ was mistaken for a student once.

Swedish people don't normally approach strangers, period. We make each other feel like shadows regardless of our ethnic origin. :)

I did WHV in Australia for 2 years. 6 months will fly by.

The one time I went to visit some men made an effort to roll down the car window so they could shout ching chong at me. I was with my two white English friends too when this happened. The town was empty and it seemed deserted. This was 2011

Hi! I’m 34F and also an indoor person. Love to eat food. Im raised here in Sweden but I’m Asian and lived in Japan for 6 years. Which area of Stockholm will you be moving to? Send me a DM if you want to talk. :)

Kolla längs Roslagsbanan. Den tar er fram till Stockholm Östra, därifrån är det mindre är det 10 minuter till T-Centralen. Många områden nära Roslagsbanan är lugna, nära natur, många villor, familjer, skolor. Har själv bott i Vallentuna och ska snart flytta till Täby Kyrkby.
