Beware of possible problems when relocating. I know an experienced graphic designer who moved there, due to personal reasons, to see her career go to a sudden stop. At some point she forced a HR person from one of the companies ignoring her CV to answer why. It went more or less like that:

- Oh, that's simple, you completely lack experience.

- Have you missed the entries in my CV?

- No, but none of them was in Sweden.

On the other hand, this may be completely irrelevant in startups.

Where did she gain her experience? I don't want to assume anything, but I think experience from some countries are looked more favorable upon, but I could be wrong.

That's probable. She worked in Poland, usually for big international companies. The last one was actually a Swedish one, but apparently being located in an office on the other side of a pond invalidates your experience.

That, or this was just an excuse to hide a real reason (could be pretty well crisis-induced).

Thanks. This is very interesting; "Stars aligned" means, among other things, that I won't move before I know I have a job.
