How do you look for a job in Sweden from the US? Have a Swedish spouse and are thinking of moving from the US. T10 MBA + MBB firm, not sure how to find opportunities or convey experience to them. I could transfer offices to Stockholm but want to see other options

In my experience, the language is the hardest part. You’ll definitely find jobs, but as a labor market Sweden likes to think that they’re more international than we are. LinkedIn is a good option to start. I think, like another commenter said, some international companies will know what to do with your experience. My experience is that Swedish companies are more interested in the experience than previous education, because they don’t know what to do with education from abroad. Good luck!

It will be easier to accelerate your learning once you’re here too. The language is really important, definitely, but there is also a big English speaking community here. The American community is particularly active with cultural and political clubs as well as social events at the embassy a couple of times a year :)

I don't think it will be difficult finding job opportunities or communicating your background. Jobs available for non Swedish speakers usually cater to the international market and they are used to hire people with international credentials.

We’re recruiting for business transformation consultants with 3-5 years relevant exp for our Stockholm office. DM to discuss a potential referral 👍

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries.

I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails. I’ve never experienced this difficult of a time searching for new opportunities. Is this normal once you hit a certain level in your career or is it just me?

Hi All,

Was just told to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable biz strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact: we have a large product innovation, digital engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits and projects beyond for our clients! Any tips?
