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 👍

I’m in a rather peculiar situation. I have been in the HR field going on 4 years, I have over 11 years of management experience, I got my PHR last year and I recently graduated with my MBA with a concentration in HR this month. I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.

Hi fishes,
I am currently working as a Data Science Analyst in Amex and would like to make a switch to Fraud detection/Credit risk modelling in future.(not in a hurry but would like to start preparing for the same)
How should I go about preparing for it? Is MBA the only course?
My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.
I am confused mainly cause the tech stack requirement is similar to my role in the company.

Title at my current job is Project Manager, which is not totally incorrect but my role is really niche and more on the operational side (COO team). I’m wondering whether it’s worth it to get a PMP certification so that I would be more qualified/attractive to transition into a traditional PM role when I move on from my current job. Is this something that is actually given credit on a resume or would it be a waste of time/money?
