I'm considering moving to Stockholm and want to do due diligence on salaries. About me: 7 yoe, fullstack JavaScript/Golang, currently contracting at Google at 32 usd/h. I know that Klarna is hiring, their compensation for senior se is 55k sek/mo according to Glassdoor. At StackOverflow Jobs I saw a position at a startup, Diet Doctor for 70k sek/mo. What are the other better paying companies? Would 70k/mo be a good number to aim for? Thanks!
Why Stockholm though? How about Berlin?
Things I expect to be better in Sweden: - English - immigrant-welcoming - not crowded - eco-friendly
Berlin is super international. General English level is not as good as Stockholm tho (at work it wouldn’t be a prob). Weather is slightly better in Berlin. Taxes are about the same but with less benefits in Germany. I would say it’s probably easier to integrate in Berlin because of the large number of international people. Integrating in to Scandinavian countries can be difficult (despite their superior level of English). If I had to choose countries, I would choose Sweden. But if I had to choose cities - Berlin hands down!
Spotify?
About the same as Klarna: 57k/mo for a Senior SE according to Glassdoor.
