It’s much easier to find a well-paid (and permanent) position if you already have one in Norway. The Stavenger option is paradoxically the most flexible one - the one that will allow you to find a better position in Oslo in the future.
As for language requirements, achieving a higher mastery of the language will allow you to seek better opportunities in the future as well.

You will probably find a job you like in Oslo after some time, dont you think?(:

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
