Hej alla,
I'm from the UK, but looking to move to Sweden (long story, but most likely Göteborg) in the next year or two, and just wondered if anybody could give me a brief insight of what the job market is like for web developers in Sweden? I'm not sure yet whether I'll be looking for a job or trying to go freelance - I don't know how Swede's would feel about giving work to a foreigner (unless my Swedish is very good by then!), or if that's even an issue - any advice?
I've started learning Swedish already (not quite confident enough to post this in Swedish though :-) ), but just wondered if anyone here might be able to give me a bit of an insight as to how difficult I might find it find work as a full-stack developer web developer (I'm pretty hot in JS (Angular/jQuery/vanilla frontend, NodeJS backend), PHP (Symfony2), HTML/CSS (and a plethora of utilities like Stylus, Jade, SASS/LESS, etc), Redis, MySQL, git and happy in both Windows and Linux environments for development (though only ever had experience deploying to linux)) with intermediate Swedish? - though I plan on becoming fluent.
