> I am not looking at the overall tax burden, I am looking at the margin. It is still 57% not 65%. But also still too high in my opinion. > If 1000 of salary increase brings you 350, the incentive of being "ambitious" is drastically reduced. Likely true and the topic of an ongoing discussion in Danish politics. > Local language requirements are a fast way to see how a country/region is open to foreigners. Denmark is not. Will it be? I do not know. Of course, you get asked German in Germany too, but here they do not have 94% of the population speaking very good English. I am not sure I understand you. Should Denmark have more English speaking jobs than Germany, because Danes are better at English than Germans (or is it the other way around?)? That aside, I know many bilingual workplaces in Denmark, and I think the number is growing. > I am just tired of this glorification of Nordic countries Nordic countries are expensive to run and are glorified for their welfare system. Other countries are glorified in the media for low taxes, growth, culture, food, environmental friendliness, etc. Something is always better somewhere else...
