Stockholm - Post Report Question and Answers

Do you have any other comments?

Incredibly, there are people who come here and don't like it. One person complained to me about the pizza crust in Stockholm being worse than the crust in the US. Others don't like winter or aren't fans of hiking/biking, being in the outdoors. Still others were disappointed that this isn't a "promotable" post. If you are cut from that cloth then don't come here, it's not for you. - Sep 2020


I don't mean to be down on Sweden. There are lots of good reasons why Sweden enjoys a wonderful reputation around the world and why it sounds like such a cushy gig. But people should be aware of the drawbacks as well. This could be exactly everything you're looking for, but for others it might pose challenges (all the more frustrating when you haven't enjoyed it, but everyone feels you got so lucky and now "owe" having to go to a tough place next). If you're looking to save money here, you've picked the wrong country. - Aug 2014


A terrific post with only two major drawbacks: the expense and the faultering morale at work. - Aug 2008
