How bad is the language barrier? I know most Swedes speak English (in my experience, excellent english), but is Swedish the language of business? I obviously don't speak a word of Swedish.

Depends on the sector.

Companies like Spotify are unlikely to require Swedish but something like more traditional consultancies usually want Swedish.

In the multinationals you can manage without Swedish but it tends to be harder to get a job if you do not speak Swedish.
