Especially with Sweden, I think jantelagen[0] is also an important thing to call out. Not so much in a negative tone, but more in terms of simply framing career success. There just isn't the same pressure to be a rockstar. You can be good at your job, even just ok at your job (maybe even bad at your job) for decades and that's fine. That's not to say that ambitious and driven individuals are rare, but the amount of social judgement around career is significantly less in most circles than in the states.
