| I moved from Santiago, Chile to Göteborg on December last year, it wasn't so good to me but my advice is "go ahead". Some thoughts I'd like to share: 1. Ask people on your new job for help to find a good place to live. Rent market in Sweden is very complicated, and you'll find yourself in a queue for at least 6 months. Don't try http://www.blocket.se/ as there's a lot of scam there. 2. You'll love public transportation and internet connectivity, they really rocks! 3. Taxes are not as expensive as people used to say. Same thing with food and some other stuffs. 4. It's a great opportunity to grow up as a professional 5. I hate the weather in Sweden, too cold to me :) 6. Don't worry about the language, everybody in Sweden speak English. 7. Göteborg is a small city, so it's not dangerous at all. Different story in Stockholm, you have to be careful with that. |
