New Member - Hello All

Hi Parag，

Welcome to Expat.com!

Thank you for this introduction.

All the best,
Christine

I cant tell you all the information you asked about but I can tell you to get a work visa for a job in Norway is a feat in itself, thats the part alot of expats find hardest in all honesty.

The job market in Norway is competitive, especially in the capital Oslo, however you said you've already got knowledge in this field so at least thats a start - The language will be a problem, I'm 99% sure that it will be the biggest problem you will face, though everyone as a general rule will probably speak English fluently they do like you to know the language, more so than a lot of countries I've visited.

I would advise you to start looking at Norwegian courses in the area, if you are lucky you may even find some free classes here and there. At least being able to show them you are starting to learn the language and making an effort is something  and may give them the confidence to hire you thinking you will learn the language.

Hi thanks for the inputs !

Was wondering if the job market scenario in terms of competitiveness and salaries along with Cost of living are much different in other cities like bergen compared to Oslo ?

Regarding language, i can totally imagine the situation, actually i read a few blogs and honestly its a bit scary because of all the negative vibes i get through reading the blogs about how ridiculously difficult it would be if you dont know the language to find a job.

but i hope is big multinationals would or at lest i hope should be fine with english !

How long you been in Norway and idea of the Consulting industry?

I know that some of the big companies (General Electric for example) use English for their recruitment and day to day working. That's likely because it's an American company though.
