careful naselus. there's a unique affliction in Scandinavian countries, it's called "arrow to the knee syndrome"

Or maybe Stockholm Syndrome?

Just out of curiosity, what kind of paycheck does a job like this come with?

About five thousand more than when I started

Why do you need to move to Sweden? With the wonders of the Internet, you'd think it wouldn't be necessary.

If you're looking for individuals that work on their own separate project or task with little need for daily input, working remotely might be suitable.

If you want a team that are working together in a project, that are able to share ideas and knowledge quickly and smoothly, that are able to mesh together well and cooperate and share a common goal, you really want them to be at the same physical location.

Experience of programming or scripting in Lua, C++, C#, Python or Paradox own script language is a must, and previous experience of modding our games is a big plus, especially Crusader Kings 2.

So only "Paradox Script" is actually required then (if a bit thin a base to stand on)?

Yes.

Ah well seems the last date to apply has come and gone already. Probably wasn't meant to be.

I would say that it's never to later to send in an application.. that's why companies have open applications! And if it's meant to be.. it's meant to be!

Is there an RRS for PDS job offers or something? I will most likely be changing jobs in the next few months and if a good position appeared I would be really tempted to apply

Also is fluent Swedish always mandatory?

Swedish is not mandatory, we have several people at the company who do not speak the language. (But we encourage to learn it and offer free lessons).

I don't know what RRS stands for but I'm guessing you mean if we help out financially when relocating to Stockholm? If so, the answer is no.

Blah, typo. I meant RSS. Or any kind of way of notifying me without me lurking the forums/website constantly :ninja:

It is kinda understandable that you don't offer relocation packages, else you would be flooded with people But on a serious note: What is the cost of living and flat rent in Stockholm (approximately)?

English is sufficient? Great. Free Swedish lessons? That sounds excellent!

Unfortunatly, living in Stockholm City is quite expensive, unless you buy an apartment (which also happen to be expensive) and are extremely lucky with the price. The prices do become more humane once you leave the central area though.

Well, that depends on what you compare with. Compared with Oslo or New York, Stockholm is cheap!
