It depends a lot on how much the company that you apply to would need you. Of course there is also a factor of luck and dependency on the immigration authorities' processes (particularly now that Brexit is said to occupy a lot of resources). But if you have a skill set which is highly in need, your chances should not be tooo bad. Be aware though that finding a good apartment in Stockholm is extremely hard right now. Although even the craziest rents are way below the SF Bay Area (but of course the pay is, too).
