Life in Norway Show Episode 4: Working Culture in Norway Full show notes from the episode can be found at https://www.lifeinnorway.net/episode4 Former US Marine Dave Smith joins the Life in Norway Show to talk about the differences between office life in the USA and Norway. Back in 2014, Dave travelled to Trondheim with his Norwegian girlfriend in an attempt to find work and make a home for himself. Three years later, he's happily married, working as Head of Marketing for a rapidly growing startup, and has fully embraced the Norwegian lifestyle. Although this is episode four, our conversation was actually the first one I recorded for the Life in Norway Show, so my thanks for Dave agreeing to the interview before the podcast even existed! I'm sure you'll agree he gives some great insights and advice for newcomers to the country. We talk about: What Dave considers the biggest difference between working life in Norway and the USA The emphasis on family and what really matters in life Whether a tech startup can succeed in a country with a more relaxed approach to working life What to expect working in a Norwegian office Dave's top tips for finding a job in Norway If extra vacation days result in reduced productivity or not Links from the show: Dave's original article on Working Culture in Norway The company where Dave works: Dogu Dave's podcast The Art of Sales Dave's article on the Downsides of Working in Norway Support the Life in Norway Show on Patreon Enjoying the Life in Norway Show?
