I’m looking to jump into the Norwegian job market! Is it hard to get into? Would it be easier to get into engineering being a Canadian trained Industrial Engineer? Or a tech job with my experience? Also would you recommend learning the language first or would english just make the cut? Are remote opportunities within the country easy or hard to tap into?

English is fine to jump into at the beginning, especially in tech. You're not going very far without at least B2/C1 Norwegian though, unless you fill in some rather narrow/specific niche and can get into international working environments.

Full remote is dwindling, most places are switching back to hybrid 3/2 or 2/3.
