I know an experienced graphic designer who moved there, due to personal reasons, to see her career go to a sudden stop. At some point she forced a HR person from one of the companies ignoring her CV to answer why. It went more or less like that:&lt;p&gt;- Oh, that&apos;s simple, you completely lack experience.&lt;p&gt;- Have you missed the entries in my CV?&lt;p&gt;- No, but none of them was in Sweden.&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, this may be completely irrelevant in startups.</text></comment>
