Hi all. I’m interviewing for roles in Oslo and Stavanger, and I wanted to ask - is there a difference between salaries a company will pay in Oslo vs. Stavanger? In the UK, the company will pay 20% less for the same role based is a regional office, due to the high cost of living in the capital. Does this principle apply to jobs in Oslo?

Tusen takk!

Same salaries in Oslo and Stavanger!

So not true in general, but if you’re getting the Oslo salary while living in Stavanger, then hats off to you. On the contrary, if you’re getting the Stavanger salary in Oslo, I am sorry for you

Received bad salary in the capital ( which i decided to join somehow) and later got a much better offer from Stavanger. The difference was approx 150k per year !

Not sure if the second offer was too lucky or I got scammed in the first offer.

Yes, it does differ significantly as Oslo has a higher cost of living. Can’t really tell the difference in percentage as it depends on many factors. I’d check on places like Glassdoor but also, you should be able to work it out directly with your HR

Many thanks ❤️

From my experience, there is not much difference. You can get a bad salary in the capital and you can get a high salary in the rural

Been 3 months since I joined Luxoft and I am assigned to a backward DXC project. The lead is oppressive and bossy. There is no work-life balance and 9:30 hours of work is not enough for them. My probation period is going to end soon. Should I inform my Luxoft manager and tell him to change my project right now ? Or shall I wait for him to end my probation period ?
