Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality?
canihasaccount@lemmy.world 1 day agoWould you recommend Denmark to someone from the US considering taking a job there?
Copenhagen is a rad town, I’d recommend visiting if you have time before you have to accept/decline the offer.
Out of all the Scandinavian countries it is the one I would prefer to live in above the others. It shares a land border with Germany, so Central Europe is easily accessible and if you are in Copenhagen then Sweden is just a drive across a very long bridge. Due to this I’d say Denmark is the more culturally open and mixed than the other Scandinavian countries.
Thanks, I appreciate your perspective! The job wouldn’t be in Copenhagen, but I do hope to visit before the offer deadline.
Yes, Danes look the most “normal”, compared to other Scandinavians. Don’t expect smalltalk to work, and don’t expect to be accepted in groups of long-term friends (so, most of them), but otherwise Danes are more social and “European”.

Even considering all the problems and quirks of living in Denmark, I would still recommend it, compared to many places in the world, US included. But if you have a way to get paid “US money” in Denmark, it would be even better :)
Getting hired is still a problem, but it’s more of a global problem now, and it depends on what you do.
