Some absolute numbers for context. That's a scale I didn't expect.
> Based in the remote Jutland town of Billund, Lego last month officially opened its digital hub in Copenhagen, adding to existing software centres in London and Shanghai. The group aims to employ 1,800 software workers by the end of 2023, triple the number it had at the start of last year, with about 400 of them based in Copenhagen.
- otikik 5y agoThere was no mention of remote jobs in the article. I also gave their careers page[1] a look, and found no remote offers at all on the Digital/Engineering areas. Maybe I missed something. If I didn't, as someone who is currently struggling to hire software workers right now, I will say those numbers sound ... optimistic.

- tokai 5y agoUnrelated to your post - but, Billund is not remote. It's part of the socalled triangle area, one of the main geographical clusters of industry and transportation in Denmark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Region_(Denmark) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Region_(Denmark)
- 0xfaded 5y agoTo quote the Wikipedia article, "[regions] which together have 421,480 inhabitants". Billund airport does have a fantastic aeroclub with fast and well maintained aircraft though. Can be in Paris within 4h.
- capableweb 5y ago> Can be in Paris within 4h. That doesn't seem very impressive, taking into consideration a flight from Stockholm <> Madrid takes ~4 hours, and that seems to be about double the distance as Denmark <> France.
