We moved from India with no Swedish connections, no job offer, and no idea what a personnummer was. Seven years later we have senior data roles at Swedish companies, own a home, run two Airbnb Guest Favourite villas, and have helped 50,000+ followers understand how Sweden works.
Everything we share comes from real experience — the visa stress, the job hunt, the home loan rejection, the Airbnb journey, the tax system. Not theory.
From Coimbatore. Moved to Sweden in June 2019 on job sponsorship. Navigated the job market, home loan, Airbnb licensing — all from scratch. Trains 60+ analysts at Swedbank. Certified Power BI, Azure, Tableau.
Joined Prasanth in Sweden in 2020. Switched into data analytics from a non-tech background. Now leads a data team at one of Sweden's fastest growing gaming companies.
The real timeline — the good, the stressful, and everything in between.
Arrived on job sponsorship with no contacts, no Swedish, no network. Started as an HCL consultant at IKEA — that was the foot in the door.
Applied to 6 Swedish companies — Swedbank, Play'n GO, IKEA, Sinch, Volvo, Vattenfall. Learned what Swedish hiring actually looks for and landed the first role.
Joined in Växjö. Zero Swedish network, years of experience in a different field. Rebuilt everything from scratch — SQL, Python, portfolio — and landed a role at Play'n GO.
Handelsbanken said no. We didn't give up — learned the system, fixed what we needed to, and came back stronger.
Swedbank approved us during probation. Bought our home in Växjö. Everything we learned about the Swedish home buying process is now in our guides.
Launched our first villa on Airbnb. Got Superhost status within 3 months. Then Guest Favourite 4 times in a row.
Applied to 5 companies and got 5 offers. Joined Swedbank as Audit Analytics Lead. Trains 60+ auditors across Sweden and the Baltics.
