Is there a Norway bro out there kind enough to answer my questions about moving there?

I've been thinking about it for about 18 months now and yesterday was the final push. Looking to move within 12-24 months.

Can you tell me about job availability? Major companies/industry? Food quality? Do I need to master Norwegian or can I pass by having tourist knowledge of the language? Daily life?

I can only research so much, personal experience would be very helpful.

Statoil?

Still gas/petroleum industry? And ship construction stuff.
But I heard many lost jobs in the former field due to the personnel management after shale gas extraction technique thing by Murica. The community is dull and the government is seeking to turn the money earned from oil into some new/good valued field in the future. This is what I read.

I know one guy who graduated at SNU with master's degree and unexpectedly got a job in the ship building field. He told me he is expected to learn Norwegian before coming and after visiting. But they speak really good English he said.

I don't think it's the place you should go unless you have excellent academic background or a specfic plan in the country. It's not that interesting. Like the guy said above, you should fuck off for asking vague/general questions. >my final push after 18 months.

This is pretty much spot on. If you have more specific questions I'll answer the, but stuff like

I also speak fluent English and am an eco-socialist.

> Major industry

Well, nothing we do is even close to what you have in the USA, but if you're looking for Norway specific industries, then offshore work, assuming the oil industry gets back on track, or fishing. Other than that, the rest is just half assed and/or small scale compared to its American counterparts.

> Food quality

If you mean our cuisine, it's pretty bland. If you mean quality of fresh ingredients, it's pretty good in the major cities in the southern half. For example, Oslo has plenty of exotic fresh ingredients (but probably tasteless compared to what you get in California for example), while Bod⌀, from what I experienced, is piss poor in comparison with lots of rotten fruit and vegetables.

> Language

Everyone speaks English, m8. If they find our you're American, they will drop Norwegian on the spot.

Gotta warn you... Norway is boring. Really boring. I am generally stunned by how Norwegian landscape is glorified worldwide, while half of it is located in a shit weather hole, and the rest is too far north.

it's possible to move to Norway with just english. We're pretty decent at it, and polite enough to let them talk their language.

But people really should learn the language pretty fast, and this is much harder for americans and brits, since they usually only know one language, which makes it harder to learn another. And by knowing english, there's less of an incentive to properly learn a new language, since everyone already understands them.

Well yeah but I don't think people like that will ever successfully immigrate. I have no desire to live in Norway but if I did I'd learn Norwegian lmao, I'd want local friends and wouldn't want everyone to switch to English for my behalf

And it's not like your language is super complex for us
>>
>>67221819

Why do you think we would want you to come here? Do you think that you would be more welcome here than in your own country? This annoys you about you faggots who say theyre gonna leave the country because of Trump. Why do you think you are welcome in these places? Such a fantasy. We don't need you, and we don't want you.

It's not as bad as Finnish, but it is quite a bit more complex. And any anglo WILL sound like he's choking on a potato when trying to speak it, even after living here for 30 years. And they'll never really get the grammar right.

Really, compared to other languages, going from english to norwegian is pretty hard.

It doesn't matter you retard. A Half Chinese person who grew up in Oslo will be more Norwegian than you.

I takes years for American Expats to assimilate here and we're much closer culturally. Your accent, terrible Norwegian and complete lack of understanding of Nordic culture will be far bigger hurdles than your race.

this.

Don't get me wrong, visiting Norway as a tourist will be a blast. People are helpful, polite, and friendly.

Moving to Oslo would be the least difference, but then again, it's not the real Norway, but a soulless corporate hole, like every other capital of europe.

and also, work in Oslo is primarily in the service industry, which would not take kindly to an american accent.

It's really Swedish wetback territory, because that language is sexy as fuck.
>>

what kind of work? Skilled, or low skilled?

Service or manufacturing?

It wouldn't be that easy for an american to get low skilled work in the service industry here as it is for the Swedes, because of that language thing.

I am an American who lived in Norway as a for 6 months in 2012 (my girlfriend had to finish her semester and I just graduated college so I moved there temporarily)

>Job availability
None.
I have a Bachelors in Computer Science. Doesn't mean anything in Norway, their education is free and they all have Masters+
Also you must know Norwegian and English at a professional level. I didn't know Norwegian so immediately had 0 job opportunity.
Even if you have the qualifications above, you must be First- a nordic, or second - European. You are neither, and unless your name is Jan Bjorssen your CV (resume) will just be brushed aside. Even if your name sounds Swedish you're a second class citizen since by now they are used to Swedes serving them food in restaurants.

Major companies/industry?
Tech, Service, Oil in stavanger, Energy, transport.

Food quality
pretty poor except dairy felt superior to USA
The meats are complete dogshit, too many vegetarians.

D I need to master Norwegian
yes if you want a job, but likelihood of obtaining one as a fresh off the plane American is slim to none, see first section.

Daily life
cold, dark, really quiet. Summer is only around 70 degrees, you can forget about enjoying any part of winter unless you have a 75%+ wool sweater (around 100 dollars), a scarf, and a jacket+hat combination at the minimum. Their saying is there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.

More about life: No one really gives a fuck about you unless you're already friends, and to be friends you would have had to go to school with them. It's nearly impossible meeting new Norwegians unless you are forced to (living sutiation or work). The most friendly Norwegians are actually Swedes there for temp work

Getting an apartment room is an application process with references and interview.

tl'dr
don't do it
you're better off moving to nowhere Montana
