In the north you get paid more but I think your buying power is pretty much the same. From a quick google, a postdoc can expect something like 2500per month in sweeden, but how much do you need to spend on rent and food etc there? In any case, I did move some 7 years ago, but the whole thing is depressing, you know? I can give my work to some capitalist megaCorp and get paid nicely, or to the public and get paid shit...
