August 29, 2023

Why consider a job in Norway?

There are numerous reasons to choose Norway, even though we are outside the EU and some places might get chilly during the winter. Norway is a well-functioning society and ranks second globally (after Luxembourg) in GDP per capita.

Quality Healthcare at a Reasonable Cost.

Norway's healthcare system is renowned for its high quality and accessibility.

Both Norwegian citizens and foreign workers employed in Norway have access to the public healthcare system, including medical services such as doctor visits,hospitalization, and essential medications. For foreign workers, the Norwegian healthcare system may seem almost cost-free compared to many other countries. The robust healthcare infrastructure ensures that you can receive necessary medical treatment without worrying about high expenses.

Wellbeing and Work-Life Balance.

Norway values work-life balance and well-being. This is reflected in an average workweek of around 37.5 hours and generally strong employee rights. With relatively short workdays and four weeks of paid vacation per year, you'll have the opportunity to explore Norway's natural beauty and cultural heritage.

Progressive Taxation, but still Attractive Tax Levels.

Norway operates under a progressive tax system, meaning that the tax rate increases with your income. While this might raise concerns, it's important to note that the higher tax rates primarily affect those with middle to high incomes. For many workers with "average" salaries, the tax level can actually bequite low compared to other countries.
