Dear all,
my name is Paola. I have just recived a job offer in Bergen, but I am not sure if I could afford living in this beautiful city with the salary they offered (around 450,000NOK/year --> around 280,000NOK/year after taxes). I am moving in Bergen alone, but I would like to rent a small apartment in the city center (so no shared apartments/rooms).
Could you tell me if, in your opinion, it would be possibile to live there with such salary?
Do you have any suggestion?
I really appreciate your help
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paola

Hi Paola! Bergen is indeed a beautiful city, ehem and expensive too (like everywhere else here in Norway). Your monthly budget will lie mostly on your house rent - you can check ads on finn.no , your transpo , your lifestyle (eating in restaurants + pubs are really expensive, ) and other financial info that might help you assess your future situation HERE. Hope it helps!

Finally some recent post. !!! Thanks GOD! April 2018
Hi ledies ,hoping you are still using this page ,
I'm moving from Malta to Bergen this summer.
After all I couldn't find some active nomads here, just a lot of different informations and old posts which are not helping much.
Any ways ,as I'm working in corporate service field and I don't speak Norsk. I was wondering are they any foreign companies ?
as I'm speaking 5 languages is it difficult to track something down ?

any suggestions much appreciated!
