I work for the NYC branch of a Swedish company. 1. Salaries will be lower in Stockholm compared to NY. You are also taxed more but you will end up saving more because cost of living is cheaper than NY. 2. Finding an apartment in Stockholm is hard. Not SF hard. But hard. Typically apartments are furnished and as a New Yorker, look bigger to me than the ones here. 3. Public transport (within Stockholm) is pretty damn good. Most people either live close by to our Stockholm office and walk, take the train or some even bike. I believe I know some who have cars. 4. Swedish culture is typically very egalitarian. This is after all the land where you can in theory find out your coworker's salary. So I don't think you are likely to get paid significantly less than your peers. However, negotiations depend more on the culture of your company. Good Luck!
