Job Opportunities in Oslo by pratik87

I am searching for job opportunities in Oslo. Currently I live in Mumbai, India and very soon migrating to Norway. So kindly update me the detailed information.

godsavetheking

It's not impossible, but you must have very good English if you're going to find an English speaking job. Anything requiring interaction with the public will most definitely require Norwegian language skills. Read More

I know that some of the big companies (General Electric for example) use English for their recruitment and day to day working. That's likely because it's an American company though. Read More

Expences for a family of four by b39

Hi everyone, I'm new here and for the beginning I have just one question that's quite important to me. I'm offered a job in Oslo for a salary that i understand is good, 650 000 NOK. When I estimate the taxes on that salary, deduct a monthly rent ...

A typical monthly bus ticket for a single adult within the Oslo city limits will cost around 550kr a month. This is much cheaper than paying on every time if you use the bus daily. Read More

While I don't know about the size of the Indian expatriate community in Oslo, I'm certain that'll you'll survive as a vegetarian. There's plenty of stores that sell vegetables although the selection can be pretty limited. Read More

It's expensive to live in Norway but the salary usually balances. I'm originally from the UK and I'd say the quality of life is about the same as you'd find in any European country. Not worse but not better - just the same. Read More

Drammen or Oslo, that is the question? by navias00

Hey guys, within a month I move to Norway. The point is that my work will be primarily in a company situated in a small town called Tranby located about 35 kilometers from Oslo. One possibility that does not rule out is to live in Drammen, which ...

Traffic into Oslo is hell in the morning. Expect to wait a long time if you're on the bus or in a car. The trains are all replaced with buses during the summer too. It's the same on the way out in the evening. Read More
