Moving to Kiruna for work. Can you help me?
Hello,
I have been offered a job in Kiruna and I'm trying to understand whether relocating would make sense.
The salary will be 40000 SEK/month before tax. I have around one year of professional experience and would be relocating alone from Spain.
Would that salary be enough to live comfortably up there and still save some money every month? I have no real reference for Swedish salaries and cost of living, so it's difficult for me to judge whether this is considered low, average or good. Keep in mind I'd be living alone.
One concern is that the company would not provide any relocation support, housing assistance or transportation support. From what I have read, finding accommodation in Kiruna can be challenging due to long waiting lists. How difficult is it in practice for someone moving there without local contacts?
Finally, are there any important aspects of a Swedish employment package (like pension plan, insurance, benefits, etc.) that I should pay attention to?
