    Hello,
    I am thinking about moving to Stockholm / Helsinki and would like to know what are some good agencies / studios to maybe look into working with. I appreciate your suggestions!

    Tack! / Kiitos!

    Have you been to either place... Stockholm is an expensive place to pick up a move too :)

    That's why I want to find a job so I can move there :)

    Thanks, ArchitectofFate!
    Yeah I would prefer a small studio / agency. I can do either / both print and digital. But maybe a bigger / more global company is the (easier) way to go?

    Have you been there during winter? In spring/summer is truly amazing, but when the -20C kick in, you will want to be elsewhere (or so the locals say). I must confess though it is still on my top list of cities for re-location.

    My impression is that Finland has a smaller local-based economy, where Sweden (particularly Stockholm) is more international.

    Good luck with you move if you decide doing it.

    I was in Helsinki a few months ago, and it seemed like the companies there were all very eager and open to have international employees. I just need to know where I would like to work.
    It gets really cold and depressing in the winter here in New York. The difference is that things work properly in Sweden / Finland, and in New York there is too much crappy stuff that people have to deal with.

    I guess I am just done with New York and need to move to a nicer, calmer place.

    I lived 5 years in Stockholm and I would say it's probably the most cosmopolitan city in Scandinavia. However it's not the cold that's the city's biggest disadvantage (Usually stays around 0 C during Winter) What's really depressing is the darkness, From Nov-Feb the days are really short and it certainly effects the people living there.

    Good luck
