Congratulations. You've figured out how to make me want to apply to your company! In the same way that I will never stop wanting to move to Norway, since they don't want me, I will now forever desire to work for Basecamp... I am so easily manipulated.

Getting into Norway doesn't seem too hard - but I'm open to be told why I'm wrong. Here is what I found: "Broadly speaking, the award of a residence permit depends on two things: your country of citizenship and your ability to financially sustain yourself and any dependents. This generally means you need a job offer, or you must prove financial sustainability if you are coming to Norway to study or for some other reason. It is possible for some people to move to Norway as a job seeker, but this is only allowed for a relatively short period of time. If you don’t manage to find employment during that time, you will have to leave the country, and there is a waiting period before you will be able to return." - https://www.lifeinnorway.net/norway-immigration-guide/ https://www.lifeinnorway.net/norway-immigration-guide/

  Interesting. I just recall reading an article that went on about how your best chance of getting in is to marry in, which is unlikely for myself as I'm happily married already! There was never anything specific about Norway (as compared to the other Scandinavian countries that generally top happiness indexes and such) just that the article said that I _couldn't_ live there.

    Stackoverflow careers often list a number of jobs close to where I work in Oslo. It seems to me if one gets a real job offer then there is a good chance to get a work permit.

  >your country of citizenship and your ability to financially sustain yourself and any dependents. This generally means you need a job offer, or you must prove financial sustainability if you are coming to Norway to study or for some other reason. By American standards Norwegians are all racist assholes.

    Because of the quote above or something else?

      Because of the quote above. It's kind of tongue in cheek. That immigration policy is basically the core of the Republican immigration policy. In the US this is considered "far right wing," racist, cruel, etc. But no one applies this standard internationally, so basically no one considers Norway or any other country with a similar immigration policy to be racist.
