I'm graduating from Stanford University in just a few weeks and would absolutely love to live and work in Sweden for this upcoming summer (anywhere from 2-6 months). While I grew up in the United States and don't speak Swedish, I do have French citizenship. I love full-stack web-development and have also made several iOS applications. I can contribute from day one but also want to be in an environment where I can learn a ton.<p>Anyone here know of any places I might look? Better yet, anyone looking for someone like me? Thanks HN!
Hey,<p>I live in Stockholm, actually from here. Maybe I can help you out, at least a little bit.<p>First off, not speaking Swedish is fine. Almost anyone above the age of 7 speak English well enough. And second, since you are a French citizen you are allowed to work here without to much trouble.<p>I'm sure a lot of companies would love the help, hell I could use it myself. But Stockholm is not all good.
It's extremely expensive and interns (praktikanter in Swedish) are not paid. At least I've never heard of one that get paid.
You'll need a lot of resources and somewhere to live before you get here. Apartments in the city or close to it are hard to come by.<p>I could go on forever. But the bottom line is. Sweden and Stockholm are a great place to be but it's expensive and you need to be ready for it.<p>If you have any more questions I'm happy to help.<p>Cheers,
