Idk about the COL in the Nordics area where you live but with 120k you’re going to struggle in the Bay Area
D2 - if you have children, there is so much out of pocket in the US that is either fully covered or heavily subsidised in the Nordics. That’s the real money burn.
OP - this is an important point. My response on if you’ll struggle on 120k in SF did not take this into consideration.
If you have a family you will feel the pinch on this salary in SF if that’s your total household income.
I just moved to US from Stockholm. Double is roughly correct, but 120k is low for SF. DM me if you want to talk through more aspects of the move / financial and cultural differences between US and Nordics.
Moved 2 years ago from SF to the nordics. 120K is not bad but not great for SF. However, 55k is quite low for the nordics, so you would still see an increase in quality of life. But you won’t be staying downtown in SF on that salary unless that’s all you use it for, or you get roommates.
That said, you will not “struggle” on 120k in the Bay Area.
If you’re looking to stay in Sweden, we are recruiting for business transformation consultants with 3-5 years relevant exp for our Stockholm office. DM to discuss if of interest 👍
