    Our population is at aging point were the large age groups are going to retire. If you can hold a wrench or use a computer, there is a work for you here.

    Pay is of course 1/2 or 1/3 what it is in US, but because healthcare and education is totally free, it is pretty much the same.

    Easiest way is to find a company that hires you first, because they can apply you for a working visa.

    Here is a government site that list available jobs for foreigners: https://www.workinfinland.com/en/

    There are open jobs like for chefs, electricians, nurses, coders, Santa’s Elf (really, look it up) etc

      I understand you think that but I literally was applying for jobs for like 6 months early this year. Not even a single response. I’m a decent data engineer with like 4 years of solid experience and a graduate degree. Could’ve just been my fault not applying to the right places though for sure. Anyway thanks for that link!

        Strange, I would say that experienced data engineer would get hired here very quickly. My team was searching one senior and one junior data engineer 6 months ago, and got 0 applications for senior role. Junior we took directly from school desk.

        I know that searching for job is quite painful, but that is quite global. Good luck.

          I actually got a great job about a month ago :) but thank you! Maybe a couple of years here then I’ll come by with some more of that juicy experience.
